Parasailing in Cabo San Lucas

This weekend, I started off 2011 by going on vacation. My friend, Siobhan, wanted to celebrate her 30th Birthday in the warm, tropical Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. I have never vacationed in “off months”, but I think it is a trend that I will continue. The weather was high 70‘s during the day. While on vacation, I decided to check off another item from my Bucket List; parasailing.

The experience was so awesome that words do it no justice. I think I was a bird in my former life. I don’t consider myself adventurous, in the least, but being in the air gives me a natural high. I parasailed across the beaches in Cabo and even though the moment was 10-12 minutes in the air, it was one that I will forever cherish and remember for a lifetime.

Hopefully, I can encourage you to try parasailing. I promise you won’t regret it.

7 Days 'til "Flirty Dirty Thirty"

Yep! I know you can’t contain yourself either, but in seven whole days, I will be 30 years old! I am celebrating the entire year with the theme of “Flirty Dirty Thirty”. This implies a fun, free, and fulfilled life...by any means necessary!

I am actually excited about this milestone. I remember the days when I felt like 30 was OLD and that was the set age that I needed to have my life “together”. However, I am actually at a good place in my life. While I do have complaints, my faith gives me comfort in dealing with this transition.

My bucket list has not been completed but I will celebrate my 30th birthday by knocking off three tasks: vacationing solo, parasailing, and visiting a nude beach. YIKES!!

In the meantime, I wanted to leave you with my birthday list. Even though money is a factor for me, I know it is no object for my loyal and faithful friends and followers.

In addition to cash, I would like:

1. Ipad
2. Mac desktop computer
3. Kindle
4. Bodybugg
5. Bike
6. my car detailed

Skydiving!!

Believe it or not...I did it! I jumped out of a perfectly good airplane. Why?? Because I needed to have some excitement for my 28th birthday! In addition, it was an item on my bucket list. I have no idea how I am going to top this for my 30th, but plans are in motion.

I have no regrets on this jump. As you can see from the video, I appeared to be carefree. It was scary initially, when I had to sign all these documents stating that if I die, my family could not sue the company, Skydive Orange...even if the death was their fault. Nonetheless, I still found myself initialing and signing my life away as if I was purchasing a home.

Skydiving is fun, but it is considered an extreme sport. That said, I still think it is an experience and adventure that YOU should give a try!
