I have to say my
favorite spot is Galveston, Texas. I loved spending a few days on the beaches of
the Gulf of Mexico with my husband. We explored the historic downtown, ate on
the wharf, and just relaxed.
If you’ve never
been to Galveston, you have got to go. We went in October when it was still in
the 70's during the day. At night the warm breezes came in our patio door and
the many ships that lined up waiting to dock looked like floating cities at
night.
There’s nothing
like fresh shrimp or lobster on the wharf or from one of the fishing merchants.
We stayed at The Galvestonian in a two bedroom condo so we had our own kitchen.
I have to say it was the most relaxing vacation I’ve ever had.
I can’t wait to
get back there again!

Excerpt:
Shrugging
off the odd sensation of being watched, I went back to investigating, and
snapped pictures of the bunks noting that even with a mattress they had to feel
like a board. I certainly wouldn’t trade the luxury of my Sleep Number bed for
one of these for an extended period of time for anything. I took several more
pictures then covered the lens and turned off the camera.
“Other
than my nerves, all is quiet in the Isolation Ward. Gonna call it a night.” I
turned away from the beds, then shuffled back toward the sinks. A low groan
filled the air, stopping me in my tracks. But looking back I saw no one. Had I
just imagined it? Were my nerves playing me up?
“Who’s
there?” I double checked the recorder finding the new batteries kept it barely
running. Shoot, why I hadn’t thought to bring an extra set of batteries?
Normally I would have done that, but tonight was far from normal. “Listen,
whoever you are, I’m going to bed now. If you want to talk to me you’ll have to
find me tomorrow.”
Quickly
stepping out of the ward, wanting nothing more than to get my head on straight,
I inched past the attendant’s room and hustled toward the stairs that will take
me above deck.
“Dr.
Masterson!” Clicking heels hurrying along the floor echoed softly behind me.
The
soft feminine English accented voice made me freeze as every hair on my body
suddenly stood at attention. Oh my god, I hadn’t imagined her. I spun around
eager for a glimpse of her, hearing the urgency in her voice, and groaned when
I found no one there. Damn, if she was so eager to reach out to me why wouldn’t
she appear?
“Dr.
Masterson, please!”
The disembodied voice made my
heart ache and my fingers tremble as I once again checked the power of the
nearly drained recorder hoping it caught her voice. Swallowing the lump in my
throat I said, “Yes?”
