Parasailing

Finally after years of saying I was going to go parasailing I've completed this task. Every time I've wanted to go there has been one reason or another why I couldn't. In most cases it was due to weather or not being able to match up schedules with my friends to go. I finally booked some time off to get this done unfortunately I was unable to match schedules with my friends. However my youngest brother tagged along and even if he backed out I don't think that would've stopped me. Of course what has to happen for the start of my vacation...a fire in Kelowna. I was thinking that this was going to kill my plans, so my back up was to go sea dooing just outside Kelowna. Lucky for me the fire didn't hinder my plans. I really thought my plans would be wrecked again so I had it on the brain to go sea dooing and since my brother has never been we did that as well. On the down side I got way too much sun by the time we went so I was feeling a little nauseous. It was a pretty good value, only $95 to go tandem for about 10-15 minutes or so up in the air. Plus for only $12 they take pictures, which I though was a great value b/c what you are really doing is buying a 512mb memory card. They take the pictures on the card and you keep it. To be honest after skydiving it was sort of a let down. Don't get me wrong I had fun and it was a peaceful flight, but it fails in comparison after gliding down to the ground after skydiving. As I said this was something I've wanted to do for a while way before I wanted to go skydiving. It was actually my lead up idea to skydiving. When you come back down you have the option for a dry landing or wet landing, and if you were outside that day you wanted to be soaked really good. Now that this is done I'm starting to run out of cool new things to try...However yesterday I did think up one new venture I want to get into and that's archery. Maybe Sagittariians are naturals at it ;)
