Memories
![](/images/headers/alan%20morris/memories/mymemories.jpg)
These stories are all just general memories of things I have done that don't fit into other categories. They may be of days out, places I've been, people I have met and things I have done, but they don't fit into any other category. Many of these memories just come back to me at different times, and I like to record them for when I can no longer remember them.
I hope some of them make you chuckle or maybe remember things from your past that you have enjoyed.

The year my dad passed away, I took my mum out to Florida for five weeks. A day or so after his funeral, I took her out to my home in Orlando. The idea was for me to put my home up for sale and get my mum away from the thousands of telephone calls she would expect from well-meaning relatives checking up on her.

In 1996, I left the UK and lived in Orlando, Florida. I had left the employment of British Gas, taking a redundancy package that would help me live in America. This story is about what happened on my flight to Florida.

In 1991, I went on a two-week holiday to Jamaica. I stayed in Negril in a very small family-run hotel. It wasn't very well run. Apart from the barman at the poolside bar most of the staff mainly were noticeable by their absence.

This ghost story is a short story but has stuck in my mind and I remember what happened vividly. It happened during a hospital stay when I lived in Fareham, Hampshire, England.

I remember everything about the time leading up to this event, during this event and after with absolute clarity. I do not doubt that this happened as I describe it here.
