I tried the zipline on my cruise, got geared up, got to the top block and was hooked up...all I had to do was step down and let go. Didn't happen. I looked down and freaked out...the guy had to unhook me. I just couldn't do it. There are other things on the bucket but anything to with heights is pretty much not on the list.<br /><br />Good luck!Sakuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11508656442667275102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-80484781566501320792015-05-07T06:56:28.067-07:002015-05-07T06:56:28.067-07:00Diana, have you ever watched them sky-dive?

So I asked my hubby if he would like to do it for his next birthday and his reply was a definite No Thanks with an emphatic shake of the head. So that's that. But good for you, you go for it.<br /><br />Dianadoodles n daydreamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13489851609110132969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-37099516200212049102015-05-06T06:23:58.717-07:002015-05-06T06:23:58.717-07:00You know, Kim, I was worried about her doing this....You know, Kim, I was worried about her doing this... and I prayed about it. And the funny thing is... when I woke up Sunday morning, I was no longer afraid . I knew she would be alright. <br /><br />And as for flying in planes, I too get a bit nervous at take-off and landings, but once I'm up there... I find the awareness that we're flying absolutely astounding and I always thank God for the experience of flight. Perhaps that's a little like I felt when I watched the girls sky-dive? What a marvelous world!Rianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09472421271620543536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-6208690238109564592015-05-06T06:18:10.318-07:002015-05-06T06:18:10.318-07:00We took the last picture outside at an Italian res...We took the last picture outside at an Italian restaurant in the Hill country.

And I don't know if I will get a chance to do it myself... but just watching them certainly restored my desire to give it a try. BTW, I had sent my daughter your post on your first jump when she was thinking about it.

LOL. It's not something I ever want to do -- heck, I don't even want to get in an airplane again!<br /><br />If you do go ahead and jump, we'll expect to see pics here! :-)Fuzzy Taleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09505853082591216696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6076673433792968099.post-78407316040558596022015-05-06T03:30:13.055-07:002015-05-06T03:30:13.055-07:00You look nice and safe in the last picture.

I guess they figure I know what I'm doing. Congratulations to your daughter, and I was just like the friend who couldn't wait to do it again.
