I've heard of these amazing zip lines that go over the jungle floor, and always thought how fun it would be to zoom through the air while a world of exotic creatures were stirring below. I got my wish and rode not just one zip line over the jungle, but 13 different zip lines for a mile and a half at
Xplor adventure and water park, some even zooming you through a waterfall and landing in a pool of water. Yahoooooo!

Another highlight of the day was meeting Erik Estrada (or maybe it was his son), who yes, I did have a small crush on when I was kid watching the original episodes of "Chips." He got to check my harness connections and then asked me, "So, do you want to go fast?" After I nervously giggled out a "y-e-s," he flashed his big white teeth and sent me sailing away with a thumbs up as I faded in the reflection of his giant chips sunglasses. In addition to the zip lines, we were able to drive an amphibious vehicle, raft through underground tunnels, and swim through the stalactite river. All in all, a fabulous adventure that we enjoyed with great friends.
