My "coolest" things aren't the most adventurous, but I've seen some beautiful places:

St. Thomas
Myan Ruins
Playa Del Carmen

I love seeing exotic places like that.

Heh I did that to my fathers new stereo cabinet. Think of the old 1960's kind with the lid that lifts up. :eek: Fortunately for me he hadn't installed the amp or turntable yet.

I fish at remote locations down steep bluffs all along the coast of Northern Cal. Sometimes when I'm down there fishing while watching the whales, sea otters, dolphins etc, I realize how much I love these places. Its also kept my sanity in check away from the tension and headaches of my personal life and work.

Thats the coolest thing that I do since it relaxes me and gives me satisfaction internally.

Got to fly the Pink Floyd blimp for 30 minutes during thier tour back in 92 or 93. Been so long I can't remember.

Also one of the first whiteys to be invited by Philippine negritos to explore some caves used by the Japanese during World War II. Back longer than I care to say.
