Ok, imagine you are in Queenstown - The Adventure Capital of The World, and you are kinda scared of heights, but a little voice keeps telling you this is the "HOME OF BUNGY" and your one chance to bungy from the world wide birth place of bungy, the Kawarau Bridge (Curt). As Nike would say...JUST DO IT! Bungy pioneer, A.J. Hackett, put this place on the map by attaching glorified rubber bands to his ankles years ago and leaping to bungy fame. Of course, there is no better way to strengthen a marriage (aside from taking Bill and Leslie Bedell's "7 C's of Marriage" class) than by bungying with your mate! We checked to make sure all insurance policies were accounted for, that our Last Will & Testament was current, that our children knew how to work the continuous exposure feature on the camera, gave them both goodbye hugs and kisses, checked that harnesses and caribeners were in place, and took the plunge!!! Later, even the A.J. Hackett staff commented on our perfect form as we dove head first toward bungy euphoria. We are told that we have now become more than just your "Average Joe." Hmmm, do you think they're trying to sell more jumps? The fact that we didn't die, and comments about "perfect form," must have increased our marriage bond. Well... it probably didn't do a whole lot to really strengthen our bond, but what a great thrill to experience together!
Does Curt look nervous on the platform, or is he just trimming his nails?

FANTASTIC!!!!
Wish Sally and I were there. We'd go right behind you.
sitting in my office, back home in the swedish zero-degree grey dark rainy lousy shitty weather, wondering if our round-the-globe tour was a dream or what. To confirm it was real, I thought I'd check out your blog...
I'm so impressed that you jumped!! We were also there, stepped out on the bridge but had to move on to Christchurch... yeah right.
Wish you all the best!
Greetings from the swedes (Per)
