Various guided tours abounded the territory, one of which was the Dining Experience tour, taken by Sandra and Ramona. They formed a group of ten with some strangers and the guide led them through a trip focusing on the territory's currently-accessible food culture.
The two girls were accompanied by old acquaintances Spike and Ron, at the request of their men who had to stay in the territory.
There were plenty of differences, however. Ron had lost his boyishness and had now adopted a slightly more serious temperament. He was no longer so smug with the C potential he had (as there were many others now) and his styled hair had now turned into a chicken nest.
Spike was also very different from when Althea and the others had seen him. However, there was a stronger aspect to him despite losing an arm.
