Evelyn 0 #1 July 14, 2005 This is the description from the shore tour info provided by the cruise line: "Originally developed by scientists to study the biodiversity found in the canopy of trees, the method involved rigging large trees with climbing gear, ladders, etc. By means of this gear giologists were able to study larger areas of the forrest. They also discovered it was a lot of fun. This program allows anyone to rise to the top of the trees and switch on the adrenaline, as you swish from one gigantic tree to another. The series of platforms are sometimes located over 100 feet high and up to 150 feet apart" Does this sound like fun or what? This is what we're doing when we are in Costa Rica (a stop on a 15 day Panama Canal cruise). They acutally offered this in Jamacia when we were there last year, but I got outvoted by my husband and daughter so we did a river raft thing instead. My husband was releived that Jamacia wasn't one of our ports this cruise cuz he knew I'd want to do it. He never imagined that they'd offer it in Costa Rica - hee hee. So has anyone ever done this?

Evelyn 0 #4 July 14, 2005 I'll let ya know how it goes. I think it will be tons of fun. Even think my husband will enjoy it once he gets into it, even though he has a fear of heights. Hopefully he'll get over that. He's such a good sport to do this with me even though he's afraid of heights. I can't wait for this cruise. Think it's gonna be good for us being on our own, not bringing the kids this time. Hopefully we'll recindle the flame and have mad passionate sex every night .
