Several years ago I was TRICKED into participating on a 12-day rafting trip on the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. It was a private trip...no tour guides...no helper-bees to do the chores. It was exhausting. It was SCARY almost every minute of the day. There were three other families in our group. Each family had a raft...one of the rafts flipped on the trip. On another day...we got caught in a small canyon by a flash flood. More than once...it was LIFE-THREATENING SCARY! I blogged about it and all my entries about the trip were titled, "Into the Raging Water." On that trip, I said I was taking charge and planning the vacation I wanted.
A trip to Bali.
I am another step closer.
I have bought non-refundable airline tickets.
May 22nd I will begin my adventure.
While I am on my Bali trip I will remember this...
I am praying...
hoping we will all make it through the next set of rapids...Lava...the biggest ride of the trip. Don't let this deceptively calm entrance to the rapids fool you! I feel scarred all-over again just looking at this photo and remembering...

I'm not sure but I think it was about that time that I started to follow your blog - as I am afraid of water I took the trip through you :) knowing I would never do it myself - you will have a great time in Bali I bet!
Looking back at the Grand Canyon trip now - are you glad you did it? or is it something you would have rather edit from your life?
I've always wanted to do white water rafting....but maybe it was when I was younger and thought myself invincible! I'm sure that Bali will be a more relaxing holiday.
