The love story continues: There is something to be said about waking up early in a strange town, on a strange bed to a day that you have no control over. Our first order of business was to head over to the Fairmont Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa to set up for a golf segment that was to be part of the pilot. When we arrived, my jaw dropped from the stunning beauty of this Inn. There are no words to describe the plush greenery, the exquisite rooms, the scent of flowers in the air. It made me feel like I was a world away and not in wine country.

The golf course that morning was perfectly landscaped and our crew was the first to step foot onto it. We had to get special permission to film there and the fact that the hotel management allowed us on the grounds was incredible because they were hosting an event for the PGA tour that day. The whole point of this segment was to get the host of the show to play golf on the fairway and talk about the PGA tour.

I knew nothing about golf so to me a birdie is a bird not a score. I learned a lot that morning about golf and fashion. Apparently, wearing high heals and a skirt is not acceptable golf attire. Who knew? Anyway, once the golf portion of the shoot was over I went to check into my room and again I was just blown away. Mind you, I could never afford this type of luxury and for a second I had a Julia Roberts moment, like in the movie “Pretty Woman.” I seriously wanted to jump on the bed and scream with joy at the fact that not only was the room a picture perfect dream, but there was a bottle of wine chilling on ice. What more could a girl want? So this is how the Rich live. Boy are they lucky!

Moments later Joel showed up to get me so that I could help him and the crew set-up for the second part of the shoot. We were scheduled to shoot the spa, restaurant and do a cooking segment with the host of the pilot and chef from the hotel’s restaurant. When I arrived to the pool area John and one of the camera operators were dressed in pool robs filming girls who were half naked in bikinis. Typical, I thought. Men with big lenses showing off. Although, part of the shoot called for bikini girls by the pool, I just was a bit turned off by it. So I went to the spa and decided to help Joel do sound checks.

Later, that evening when we wrapped for the day we were all invited to have drinks down in the lobby of the Inn before dinner. As I sat by the fireplace sipping my glass of wine, John came over and sat next to me. It was the first time we were close to one another and we had a great conversation about the day. I don’t know if it was pure exhaustion at that point or the romantic setting of the day, but I found myself locked into our conversation and enjoyed that he noticed my wine glass was getting empty. “Another glass of wine?” He asked.

Until next week…
