UP, UP, & AWAY

Things just kept heating up in Orlando today. It was warm and sunny and we were off to yet another awesome venue. This time it was another non-traditional way of trying out a proven adrenaline rush- indoor skydiving! Sky Venture Orlando were great hosts and the instructors were tons of fun. For those of you who were like me and had never heard of indoor sky diving I'll explain just a little, though it won't do it justice. Take a wind tunnel and tip it on it's end. Then get the air ripping through there at more than 200 km/h and jump onto the column of air to experience the sensation of free falling. The instructors work with you to get your form just right and you get to "fall" in a safe controled enviroment. Perfect for those aren't quite ready to jump from a plane trusting only a thin layer of nylon. Some of the group caught on right away like Lindsay from North Carolina. She was a natural! The vidoe below should give you the full effect so have a look. Once again there were members of the local media on hand to get a handle on exactly what the 67 Days of Smiles promotion was all about and we ended up in the thick of things as usual. Watch Mikey's cheeks for a good laugh.

The pace slowed down come lunch time but only just a little. We came from a simulated atmosphere at Sky Venture to a very real one at Taverna Opa. The greek cuisine was divine and the authenticity was wonderful. We got to sample a variety of items off their menu, which was excellent, and the service was top notch. The servers got us up out of our chairs dancing and having a great time. Lunch was definetly enjoyed.
