GHOST WALK
Nantucket offers a couple of different Ghost Walks each night. My sisters went on the one the locals said is the best (The Nantucket Haunted Hike). The tour (which operates between May 26 and September 10) is two hours long, with two shows a night at 5 and 8pm. It costs $20 adults, $10 for kids 8-13, free for 7 and under. They said the tour was fun, but the stories weren't scary � just disturbing. However, when they returned home around 10:30 I could tell they were freaked out. My brother, niece and nephew fell fast asleep. I was checking email. Shortly after, the wind kicked up and the outside shower door began to clank. My sister Georgette, who was sharing the king-size bed with my sister and kids, said she couldn't sleep with that noise, and asked if I would go out and lock it. I said, "No way! Not after the stories you just told me -- and besides it's pitch black!" I wasn't scared, but I knew darn well that Georgette would eventually drag Carol out of bed with her, and I could get them back for all the times they scared the bejeezus out of me when I was a kid. (I'm the youngest, which meant I got tortured growing up -- but that's a whole other story, most likely for a Dr. Phil episode). When Georgette and Carol both agreed to go out with a flashlight low on batteries, I made my move. They went out the front door, and I quietly slipped out the back. On my way I grabbed one of the wet beach towels drying on the deck railing. I started to walk fast at them, like Jason from "Friday the 13th."I had the towel over my head, making loud Frankenstein-esque noises for special effects. Those noises quickly turned into crazy wild screams when I tripped on the kids' damn bicycles lying in the grass. Although I was in serious pain from the pedal jabbing into my side, it made the whole scene scarier for them. They later said they had no idea it was me on the ground as they yelped for help. Carol said she was so scared, she almost wet her new pajamas. It was so funny. We seriously laughed ourselves to sleep. Ghost walk; tel.: 508-292-0164.

SAYING GOODBYE
It's always difficult to leave a fun vacation, and Nantucket ranks up there as one of the best. We stalled as long as we could, and the kids begged my sister to move there because it was their favorite place ever. They said there was so much to do -- and to think they didn't play their normal thousand hours of video games or watch TV. That's what makes Nantucket so great. It's just good traditional family fun. I hope we can all return every summer. Maybe one day people will call me "the man from Nantucket." (You know I had to get that line in there!)
