...at some point, I have to acknowledge reality. I mean, I’m not crazy about amusement park rides, I have anxiety issues sometimes, and I’ve now been in two situations where I could have done this and didn’t.

It was just a trail ride (and only the second time I’d been on a horse), but I enjoyed doing it again. If you’re ever on Kauai (Hawaii), Silver Falls Ranch is great. :)
