Last Hawaii Post We Promise

Here are two pictures of when we went para sailing in Oahu! Ben thought it was pretty fun but Mandy was scared for her life! We both love to go on amusement park rides so we thought the thrill of this would be similar! Mandy discovered there is a HUGE difference between the two. When you are on a roller coaster you are sitting in a car that is on a track that is bolted to the ground. When you para sail the only thing that is keeping you from, (as Mandy likes to put it) "flying off into oblivion" is a skinny rope and a few knots. If that wasn't bad enough our rope was fraying!
Yes that speck in the sky is us!!! Just floating around at 1000 ft! Mandy was freaked that a plane was going to hit us!

My brother was in Arkansas for some Air Force training and they did this during some downtown. Of course, without a long coastline they just hook the equipment up to the back of a pickup truck. He even had a short video of it on his website for a while.
