Lifetime experiences II
This weekend I've redeemed a voucher GH had given me as a present on our last anniversary.
See that little plane like thingy on the photo?
That's a glider and yours truly was on it!
She offered me a sail flight!
I'd flown on several planes and helicopters before, I'd done sky diving, but I always wanted to try a sail flight and never got to do it.
An experienced pilot got us up, made several acrobatic maneuvers (never thought I would ever do two loopings in a row without an engine, that thing really was amazing) and even let me fly the glider for a while.

Now THAT's cool. What a great gift. All I got was a new sweater. ; 0
Whoa!!!! Hope you really enjoyed.
My cousin once went para-sailing and she says it's BEAUTIFULLY SILENT up there.
You are brave,DC!!!
I got one of those vouchers for my 50th. It was supposed to be used within 6 months, I extended its life by 6 further months just before it expired... A year later I found it at the bottom of a drawer...
Never got to use it... Was I frightened to go gliding? I'm not sure...
What FUN! great gift!
Look at you, swimming with dolphins, sky diving, para-sailing, I had no idea you were such a thrill seeker. Glad you enjoyed yourself. I'm still waiting to sky dive, can't wait!
ale: Memories last longer that anything material! ;)
phoenix: That and a trip to Gettysburg if I am not mistaken... plus a few more things. Stop whining! :P
GG: Sure I enjoyed it!
I love flying, I love doing things I've never done before! Heck, I love being alive!! :D
cream: Not exactly bravery. As it happens flying in a glider is actually a lot safer than flying in a commercial airplane.
hayden: Can't complain about my luck.
christine: What? You thought I would settle for just work and the occasional blogging? No way! There is so much to do out there... :D
