I was anxious to pick her up at the airport. I bought the largest bouquet I could. It was at least 3 feet long. We had many conversations and agreed that we would spend a week together in Hawaii. Her stipulation was that we had to go 'dutch' including the airfare. After agreeing to her wishes, I made the reservations and garnered us a neat package. Time was...
LXX Ivory Towers Gabrielle 2040 There was a demonstration going on in Oxford's city centre. Normally, Gabrielle wouldn't be worried by something like that, but the taxi she was in would have to pass through it and she was concerned for the safety of Ajit, her Chief Farm Manager. Would they notice that he was Pakistani? "Relax," said Ghazi who was also ac...
We decided to take a four-day holiday weekend and go to Atlanta to enjoy the nightlife and some of the good restaurants there. We have some ground rules when we go away. One is that Judy is not to pack any underwear and she usually spends a week shopping for outfits that show off her great assets. We checked into our hotel on Thursday and unpacked. We had a...

(This is a true story about our vacation to the islands. I had been dating my wife for three years at this point.) * We met Adam and Debbie our second night on the island of ST Martin.

"What exit is the hotel?" asked Jamie. "Should be the next one coming up." her husband replied. "Uhh finally! I can't wait to get out of this car and take a shower." It was August, and this part of their trip had them traveling through Georgia. Jamie was reclined in the passenger seat of the car, her long red hair drawn in a loose pony tail at the base of...
The room was very dark; actually gloomy was a better word. The lights were off and the drapes were pulled. Only the weak light from an overcast evening was able to make it around the windowsill of the hotel room and provide any illumination. I could only barely make out Laney's form, but not detail. She appeared as a dark woman-shaped shadow, standing next t...
This is a Part II continuation, mainly involving three of the four characters from my previous story. Hope you enjoy it: ***** My first paid full year of classroom teaching went pretty well. Rookie teachers have to go through a lot of paperwork, orientation activities, and administrative meetings. The hours spent outside the classroom for all this are long...
I get lots of vacation time at my job, but I'm so busy I don't always get to use all of it. My old friend Alice told me she has a similar situation at work, so we decided that every year in the early spring, we would take a trip to a resort somewhere, so we don't end up losing our vacation days. This year, Alice and I went to a beach resort in Mexico. The...
Well to start you off, let me tell you about a fantasy that has been running through my mind the past few days: We've finally got to meet for a long period of time. We've gotten together before, but it was usually for a dinner, or a quickie in the airport as I stop over during another trip. As a matter of fact were getting good at quickies: in the parking l...
