Loisaba Conservancy, Kenya [Monday Daytime]

[doctorgingerspice]

When you sleep under the stars, the day starts very early. Bonus: the Maasai Warriors taking care of everyone have arrived with coffee and tea for the suites to drink as you watch the sun rise. The second bonus: sunrise is the very best time to go on a game drive where the giraffes are, and the zebra and see all of the animals!

While the idea of traipsing out to explore something had its appeal, Irene was recovering from something of a shock today. Really, the shock had started -- and endured through -- last night, when she learned that the trumpet of an elephant or the roar of a lion were not the sorts of midnight wakeup calls she ought to have anticipated. Animal calls would have been a lullaby, probably, compared to her bedmate's snoring.

Irene supposed the joke was on her, given that the just one bed situation had turned out so ironically not in her favor that she was surprised Rod Serling wasn't here to ominously narrate about it. But she was tenacious, thank you. She had faked her own death twice. She'd survived untold months in a Pakistani prison. She could take a little snoring.

Or...she could just try to shift around her sleep schedule, too. Which was why today found her on a lounger by the pool, swathed in a La Perla bikini and a big hat, and fast asleep.

(She'd set a timer so she could reapply sun cream, never fear. Dermatological health was even more important than beauty sleep.)
