White Water Rafting

Terrified me so! My heart beat like a bass drum, Screaming , "Go, go , go!" Someone scrunched me in a jacket, And headed me in fear. I did my best to smile and hide Tears of fear, fear, fear. But I was with a jolly crew and we did quite well. That fear-filled afternoon in Arizona Later, relaxing and laughing in that raft., With cheers, cheers, cheers! Sunday 7:30am PST

I am truly happy for you, as for me, at this stage of my life, such an excitement maybe overwhelming--wish I've done it in my younger days Panagiota, Aloha wk

Never dreamt I would ever do that. The afterwards, was the best part. The congeniality and humor of those I was with blew me sky high. I love humorous People who are Unafraid to be who they really are. See my comment to Darlene. I did not want to go on this all expense paid trip. But I did. Awesome

Yes, after my dire fear...came laughter and new friendships. Never saw water create such instantaneous openness. Cheers, Panagiota

Darlene,, my friend.Gee..that was 20 years ago.Haha. So think I wound not. My fellow passengers were all managers of then cable companies. The best and funniest people I ever met. I was just a worker bee who won that trip, thanks to an ESPN Contesr. It was so beautiful and an honor to win, thanks, my friend

Panagiota, it sounds like fun, but like a rollercoaster ride I stay away from them. Hugs Eve

Eve, it scared the heck out of me. But my raft buddies and I were drawn so close by that experience. I can't do roller coasters anymore. But seems I spent much of my life on them in Chicago. No more...Eeks Pamagiota
