Vegas Indoor Skydiving: A Different Kind of Gamble thumbnail

I guess you could say I’ve been bitten by the skydiving bug. Of all the thing Sin City had on offer for us on our one non-hungover day (we took the first flight out of New York), none called out to me like Vegas Indoor Skydiving. Tearing ourselves away from our plush room at The Cosmopolitan…

Lava Peeping and Waterfall Spotting: A Big Island Helicopter Tour thumbnail

I had seen The Big Island from deep below sea level, I had seen it from the ground, I had seen it from the mountain-top. But I wanted to get higher. When Blue Hawaiian Helicopter Tours invited me on their Circle of Fire Tour, I didn’t need much convincing to say yes. But it certainly didn’t…
