Vacation Update - a tad late...

For anyone wondering whether she did it or not......I did!!

Did WHAT you may ask?

First, a statement that I will keep to my dying day: 

I WILL NEVER GET ON ANOTHER WAVERUNNER IN MY LIFE!!

The next time I want to go see the dolphins cavorting in the Gulf of Mexico, I am going by pontoon boat.  It will be much safer that way.  AND, more importantly, I will NOT end up "swimming" back to the beach!!

Second, we planned on parasailing on our last Saturday there and the day turned out to be the windiest of our time in Florida!  Of course!  Why should it be a nice, calm and peaceful day?  It's not like anyone was afraid of heights or anything!  And, to make it more interesting, Chuck and I were the FIRST to go up and Brian and Tyler the LAST!  It seemed that WE had the most challenges getting back to the boat and THEY made it look effortless!  OF COURSE THEY DID!!  THEY LEARNED FROM OUR MISTAKES AND THE COUPLE THAT WENT UP AFTER US!!  Duh!

The boat ride was nice by itself and there was no fear of IT dunking us in the Gulf of Mexico, unlike a waverunner!   Here are a couple of pictures of my time "riding a dragon".


I am sooooo glad he didn't squish us like bugs!


Yes, that is Chuck and me at the end of that rope!!!


Tyler and Brian getting ready to leave the back of the boat for their sail!


Right before they landed back on the boat...let's see a little "HIGH 5"!!


What did I learn about myself on this trip? 

I WON'T go waverunning again!

I WILL go parasailing again but it better be a much calmer day!!

And, I DO LIKE MASSAGES!!
