How I did it: During a cruise stop in Puerto Vallarta, I decided to go on the "Extreme Canopy Adventure" excursion, which included several ziplines, and a rappel down a rock wall near a waterfall. I just listened to what the tour guides told me about keeping my legs straight, and used walking motions to get down the wall. The initial movement off of the platform is probably the scariest part for anyone who is doing this for the first time.&… Read how I did it…
How I did it: My boyfriend and I found a great deal on Norwegian Cruise Lines for an 11-day Mexican Riviera cruise that left from a port near our home, so we decided to go for it. I stocked up on prescription patches for motion sickness, and packed for different climates and activities (from cool nights on the ship to hot days in Mexico; from swimming to hiking). We decided on doing some wandering around most of the ports on our own, and ch… Read how I did it…
How I did it: First off, I am not completely closing this goal out. However, last night I was reading my list of goals to my boyfriend, and when I reached this one, "Not be so Negative", he laughed. Naturally, I was slightly offended at the snicker and asked him why the laugh. He pointed out that this goal in itself is kind of negative, and suggested that I change it to something like "Be More Positive" instead. Point taken, so … Read how I did it…
Ok, after sitting around gathering a bunch of photos for hours a few months ago, they’ve done nothing but sit on my living room floor and creating clutter. I tried to scan them in one day, only to find that my scanner wasn’t working properly and didn’t want to talk to my laptop. Anyway, my boyfriend says he’s finally fixed the scanner so I can get started on this goal. I’m kind of excited about this.
Yay! I think I’ve got this one covered soon. Groupon was offering a discount on a flying trapeze class that’s offered nearby. I’ve been browsing the site for this place for quite some time, and this discount was just the thing I needed to finally sign up. Now I just need to give them a call and make a reservation for a class during the week, since I’ll probably be less crowded then. It’s only an hour and a half long class, but it’s enough for me at the moment.
Here’s the class description: “Fly through the air with the greatest of ease… just like you see in the circus. During the first class, participants learn the basics. You’ll hang by your knees on a stationary bar, then proceed up the ladder to the flying trapeze! After practicing a knee hang position for execution and timing, you may even be ready by the end of the class to attempt a catch with our catcher… and this is just the beginning! “
Okay, so the weird part about this goal is that I closed it out (“gave up”) several months ago, thinking that it wasn’t necessarily at the top of the list of things to do, but rather something I always thought about in the back of my mind as eventually doing. This weekend, Groupon (a site that utilizes the power of collective buying to get great deals) offered an amazing deal on a tandem skydiving flight and my boyfriend and I decided to go for it. Soooo…we bought the Groupons, and are just waiting for the perfect time to schedule our skydive. I’m really excited, and not nervous at all yet.
