Why do I put myself in these situations??? Booking random destinations and then throwing in some "extreme sports".
Inspired by a BBC programme I didn't give two thoughts to booking a week long whitewater rafting trip through the Grand Canyon...... A whole week! I have never even done a day trip. In fact I booked a trip in Cairns many years ago, dreamt the night before that I was thrown overboard, freaked out and refused to go when the alarm went off!
The enormity of my actions didn't really hit home until 3 days ago when I was checking I had adequate insurance!
Insurer: "We only cover to Grade 3....." Trip Organiser: "Well Sam I can confirm there are 6 grades of rapids, but Grade 6 is impassable. You will encounter up to Grade 5!"
Insurer: "Grade 5? So you must be very experienced?"
Erm, help??! So to be honest I am now freaking myself out quite considerably! Whilst I genuinely believe that you should try new things, face your fears and try things that scare you, quite frankly I think I may have gone too far this time!
So as I sit here at Gatwick waiting for my delayed (only be an hour) flight, winding myself up there is only one course of action that will take my mind off it: Time to shop!!!
