Here is the story of how I checked #6 off my bucket list....
1989
My girlfriend and I went to Puerto Vallarta, Mexico for a week. The only thing I knew how to say in Spanish was "cookies", "grapefruit juice" and "please". That's all we ate for the entire week, which lead to #32 being added to the list.
We also decided to try something exciting with our limited funds. We were told that parasailing was available. A person is towed behind a boat while attached to a specially desig
ned parachute. The boat drives off, carrying the person into the air right from the beach. We paid the huge sum of $40 US to go parasailing. Up into the air I went and it was fun and exhilarating. It is amazing how clearly you can see into the water. I even saw a battery of baracuda - good thing the ride didn't stop there!

Have I mentioned that I am scared of heights? After the baracuda, I spent the rest of the ride wondering how do you get down because you have little to no control over the parachute. Well,..sometimes good experiences are not well thought out before hand and I highly recommend trying it.
#6 Parasailing added to the list 1986, checked off the list 1989.
