OK Chris, I admit it. You're right. And yes, I do still owe you Yankee stadium pics. BTW, our seats there were at the very top steep upper level, of course.
By the second (well maybe third) day of the cruise, I was easily leaning on our glass balcony rail, 8 stories above the ocean. Hmm, maybe the rum punches helped, but heights weren't bothering me there.
Watch for those pics Chris. I'm just catching up on this oh-so-fun page that Wendy's been doing!

Jim's Fear of Heights. Real or Imagined? by: Chris the Big Laker
Great story about Jim, Alona, and any height over six-feet off the ground.
Last may I had the pleasure of meeting up with Jim and Alona again. This time, instead of Chicago, it was Montréal.
Being the out of country tourists that we were, we corralled Nori to take us sight seeing. We decided to checkout Olympic Park and the inclined tower, called la tour de Montreal. At 583 feet (175 meters), it is the tallest inclined tower in the world.
Now you must know that Jim would rather keep his feet on the ground. In fact, Jim is so afraid of heights, he actually prefers to keep his feet buried under ground. Yes, he hates heights THAT much.
I don't know what Alona gave him, but Jim was a trooper that day in Montréal. He made it up to the tower and even back down without too much trouble.
I tell you though, the sight of Jim in the center of the cable car, deep breathing is something I'll remember about our trip to Montréal.
Sorry to make fun of you buddy! Have a great cruise!
Chris
PS: Jim, you still owe me pictures of Yankee Stadium!
