Note to self..

Never do the following "pleasurable activities":

1. Tour an active volcano (RIP to the poor souls who did)
2. Take a scenic helicopter tour
3. Sky dive
4. Take a scenic hot air balloon tour
5. Climb Mt. Everest
6. Go open ocean diving
7. Tour a sharia governed country
8. Go anywhere near North Korea

You forgot "Bungy-jump"

THAT has always seemed crazy to me.... mind you I do have a very real "fear of heights" thing...


I have been to the part of NZ where you can see White Island from the shore (Mt Manganui area)... well... you can see the white cloud of smoke and steam... miles out to sea...
