And So - The Real Adventure Begins...

My favorite thing to do is to go where I have never been...
and to experience that which I have never experienced before...
Canada is an amazing place to fulfill those wishes!

First up...Something we did last year in Canada,
that is the thrill of a lifetime...

- Zip Lining to the Falls -

Here we are, waiting in line...head gear on,

then getting suited up.
I did confirm that it was "not" her first day as she got me ready.
If you look closely, you can see a little bit of the view in front of the girl with the orange shirt.
No pictures, no cameras allowed!

Next up...

- The Ride of your Life -

This was a first for both of us!

We are up next and only a tad bit excited.

Refueling

The Canadian Horseshoe Falls

The Province of Ontario 

The American Falls

The view from above was spectacular!
It was a smooth, comfortable ride - without the feeling of motion.
- and you get a certificate -

 Would I do it again, you ask?
- you bet I would -

    Hello Debbie, you are living an adventurous life. The zip line is cool, I am sure that was fun. I remember my first time in a helicopter a tour around Maui, I felt sick when I got off. Your photos are beautiful, love Niagara Falls. Happy Monday, enjoy your day and new week!

    Both of those must have been a thrill! I am not as adventurous, I hate heights and am not thrilled about flying, I had to fly to England when my hubby got stationed over there and when my parents wanted us home for Christmas when Amanda was smaller they offered to buy plane tickets, but other than that I stay away from anything that leaves the ground, LOL!! Glad you enjoyed yourself!!

    We had a zipline at a camp once which went over a lake. It was pretty high too and some kids didn't use the belt and opted to jump into the lake instead of landing on the other side. I got in line and put on all the stuff but as soon as I looked at it, I really got chicken so I took it off.

    The views are spectacular. I would get on that helicopter, but there is no one on earth that would get me on a zipline. No way, no how. And that's my final answer.You may have guessed by now that I'm a big chicken.Glad you enjoyed it.

    Magnificent photos! You two are so brave. I don't think I could ever be in a Helicopter or the zip line. However, I can see that it would be fun if I could be brave enough. You deserve a certificate for sure. I really love this topnotch adventure. Big hugs for you two!
