This story is a sequel to "Cruise Control" which follows a reluctant wife on an island cruise and her sexual escape at the Blue Parrot Nightclub. Since I felt the original was well written I thought I'd do a sequel as a tribute to the author. I provided an alternate ending from the original as a start.

As we returned to our room Maria took a shower and packed her clothes in her suitcase. As she packed I asked her "Are you sure you want to do this? I mean your asking me to let you spend a whole week with someone we don't really know. Tonight was wild but I'm concerned for your safety. We're talking a whole week here."
"Don't worry," Maria told me. "How many opportunities will I have to do this again. I'm here now ... I did it already ... it was wild ... I'm not hurt. Don't worry. I will text you often and let you know how things are going. If it turns out to be a bad decision I will leave and take the next ship home."
With that being said we walked towards the exiting platform and I gave Maria a big hug. "I can't believe I'm letting you do this. You're my wife of 15 years. But I want you to be happy. If you feel this is something healthy for our relationship then I'll let you do it."
Maria hugged me with a big kiss. "Don't worry," she said. "I'll be fine." She then hollered a cab down and off she went.
As I walked back to the room I couldn't stop myself from thinking of what was going to happen to her all week. "Can Carlos be trusted?" I asked myself. I became consumed with fear ... and excitement. The ship was leaving in two hours. Back in my room I decided to stay on the island and follow her. I grabbed my wallet and walked off the ship.
I yelled for a cab asking the driver to take me to the Blue Parrot. Upon arrival I noticed the club was closed. It was about noon now so I guess a nightclub would be closed. "So where could she have gone?" She did say she needed some new dresses for the week. I decided to head into the village to see if she was there.
The village was fairly small. There were a few restaurants and some shops. In order to avoid being spotted I decided to buy myself a large straw hat and a change of clothing. After I changed I spotted Maria across the street with Carlos. She had two large bags with her. It looked like they went shopping. They were sitting at a table drinking. I decided to discreetly leave the store and walk down the street a bit. Finding a bench I was able to watch them as they drank. It looked like things were okay. They exchanged laughs and seemed to be having a good time. It looked like several young male friends of Carlos stopped by to say hello. Perhaps they were at the Blue Parrot and recognized Maria. They shook hands and walked away as if they were planning something.
By now it was 6pm and the sun starting setting. Carlos and Maria got up and called a cab. As they drove past me I quickly did the same and asked the driver to discreetly follow that car. The cab Carlos and Maria were in eventually drove down a winding dirt road.
As we entered the road the driver stopped and said "Are your sure you want to go down that road?"
