You are braver than me, so not a desire I have-lol- I use to fly (in airplanes) and loved it, but kinda have a fear of helicopters. I'm so glad you got to do this! Now you're off to do some zip-lining? Oh, you are the daredevil!-lol-So glad you're enjoying life-Toogie

Thank you Toogie: It was a thrill for sure. I would recommend anyone doing it. I hope to try a zip line, but will have to wait and see.

If you can check into it in your area. My kids got the tickets through Groupon...a lot cheaper than I thought. Would have done it years ago, if I had known how reasonable it was.

85867Hi jerrib, I can't believe it,but that is on my list too! Was it scary? What else is on your list? I really want to touch a lion!

No it wasn't scary at all. I did get a little nervous when he banked the helicopter to the left on a turn, as I was on the left, but do try it if you can. I would like to zip line next. I live in Vancouver, BC area and we have a few zip lines, but the one I would like to do is up in Whistler, BC. My GD did a bungie jump for her 16th, but don't think I will try that. Would also like to do a White Water Raft trip. Time and money, but will wait and see.
Touching a lion...not in my bucket list. But love Koala's and have collected them for many many years, so would really love to see and hold one.

63109You are one brave lady!! I fly in airplanes, have flown in a hot air balloon, but for some reason would never put foot in a helicopter!! But so glad you got to do another thing you wanted!!! (and yes, I know hot air balloons are probably more dangerous than a helicopter!)

I was so excited when the kids gave it to me back in January, but 8 months later I finally had the ride. Like waiting for a baby to be born,,,
