I am second in the ocean, re the Bahamian trip. go on - dish the dirt. Dee: Oh that is everyday stuff isn't it? 'How not to crack your head open after stepping on the shampoo on the tub by your thoughtful offspring'? Shld be on every parenting manual, that! 304933@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 12:50:48 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304900 Snorkeling? Hope you used sun block. Friends of mine went snorkeling and were badly sun burnt. They slept on their stomachs for over a week. And yes I love to read about trips gone bad, they are far more entertaining than the regular travel reviews;) 304900@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:42:01 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304885 Dee, I am so not falling for that again...the blackmailing, I mean. In fact, it's great ammunition for me now, so it worked out well. I must write about my Bahamian snorkeling trip from hell sometime. DG...what can I say? I was young, foolish and in love :-). Death defying sports are great anniversary gifts. Sort of like, if you survive this we're on for another year. Nice! 304885@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 07:25:28 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304874 You guys are an adventuress lot, for me stepping out of a bath tub on a slippery floor is enough excitement for the day;) 304874@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:08:37 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304871 J: That's horrible!!! You shld have tossed your hubby into the categ 5 and be done with it!! Mine was a gift from my hubby for our anniversary - maybe he was trying to clear the area!!! Dee: Bunjee! oooh that's on my list next! 304871@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 05:58:18 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304868 Jawahara, can I tell that 'someone' to next blackmail you to try Bungy jumping?;) 304868@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 05:50:35 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304859 DG, I couldn't make myself click on this because I was afraid of re-living one of the scariest times of my life...white water rafting in Tennessee. I got guilted and blackmailed into it by *cough* someone. This was a natural river with a few category 4's and a 5. Oh yes, did I mention I don't (can't, what's the difference?) swim? It was traumatic and I had a death grip on the oar and the little roap thing on the side of the raft. Not helped by the fact that one person in our boat went into a category 4 rapid and had to be rescued, and another fell in and had his nail of his big toe peel completly off because of some hidden rocks he enountered on his unplanned dive. I certainly did not shout that I would do it again. My shout was more along the lines of "Divorce." Still gives me nightmares. *shudders* Still, I'm glad you had a good time. Really, I am ;-) 304859@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 04:42:44 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304840 t: too true! it was truly something else. have u done it? 304840@desicritics.org Fri, 16 Nov 2007 01:18:26 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304770 DG: it is quite an experiece that words or pictures seldom do justice :) 304770@desicritics.org Thu, 15 Nov 2007 14:29:58 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304730 Dee, wholly involuntarily, I hasted to add. Sweet bloke, chattering teeth notwithstanding. Next stop - Bala, Wales! 304730@desicritics.org Thu, 15 Nov 2007 09:24:18 EST http://desicritics.org/2007/11/14/073358.php#comment-304698 DG, sounds awesome and the best part is there was no real danger except you wanting to drown the er.....poor bloke and all;) 304698@desicritics.org Thu, 15 Nov 2007 01:32:59 EST
