"NO." Jill said firmly. "I will not spend a week roaming those stupid mountains, sleeping in a stupid tent and cooking over a stupid campfire. That's not my idea of a vacation." They were disputing where to spend the next weeks vacation. Ralph was pushing the idea of a camping trip, ruffing it, camping out in the wilderness. Either that or a week at a ski r...
The Cayman Islands are a mecca for scuba divers. Some of the best reef diving in the world is just a one-hour flight from Miami. Most people who have been to the island only see the area around Georgetown and in the West Bay Area or the famous Stingray City where visitors can snorkel with the wild animals in their home environment. There is a lot going on in...

As she sorted through the pile and took inventory of the clothes she found that she had two tank tops, one little island sun dress, and the two bikinis. That was it. She just stood at the...
Only a faint hint of breeze blew off the water as we stepped through the low brush that lined the trail and onto the bright white sand. Liz and I had been exploring Tintamarre Island located off the coast of St. Martin. I figured the sailboat we had arrived on was anchored nearby since we had nearly circumnavigated the whole island. Judging from the sun's po...
1. The Getaway It was almost time for their annual vacation, and Jill Masterson could hardly wait. This one would be different though.

Grant wanted there to be good boating and f...

He carries the cooler, a large umbrella and sac with everything else in it down toward the shore line and sets up. After kicking off his sandals and lying down on the towel beneath the umbrella, he pops open the cooler and grabs a Corona. The beer...
The hot Pacific sun beats down on your trim, tan body as you lie in a bikini on the beach. Next to you, Christina takes a sip from a cocktail and turns the page of the book she's reading.
