When I saw the Groupon offer for parasailing with x-treme parasail, I knew right away who I wanted to go on this adventure with! My bestie!

X-treme Parasailing

I’ve been racking my brain every birthday and Christmas thinking about what to buy for her, but I never quite find the perfect gift. It dawned on me just the other year that what we really need is more quality time together.

With work and family, we don’t get to see each other as often as we should.  That’s when I decided, forget the gifts… we need to go on “first time adventures” together!  Making memories is what it’s all about.  Earlier this year, we enjoyed our very first professional massage!

Now, it was time to fly 850 feet in the sky!!!  We debated between 750 feet or 850 feet, but come on… what’s another 100 feet right?!? “Go big or go home” as they often say.

Despite our slight fear of heights and motion sickness, we built up the courage and went for the 850 feet! It was unbelievable! It’s only a short ride, but during that time, it was so peaceful. The views were breathtaking. It really was a spectacular experience that needless to say, we definitely would do again!  Just don’t watch any YouTube videos of “parasailing gone wrong” before heading out haha.

We’re flying!

Panoramic view of Honolulu!

As customary, we had to reward ourselves with a margarita! When the waitress asked us what size, we followed our mantra “go big or go home” and said “Large please!”

Large margarita, please!

Cheers to adventures with the bestie!
