Katie's...  "favorite part of her vacation on Kauai 2008"

Overall I had the best time on vacation but my favorite day was when we went zip lining. 
Group start

When we got to the zip lining place we checked in and started the process of preparation.  First they weigh you so that they are sure that you made the weight requirement of 85lbs.  If you are too small, you may not make it the whole way across the zip line run.  If you are too heavy... well we all know what will happen then! 
getting ready

The certified instructors then strap you into a full harness that goes around your legs, around your waist, and over your shoulders.  The last safety equipment is the helmet.  We all had to wear bright yellow huge, bulky helmets.

When everyone in your group is ready, they take you in an off road vehicle to a stop off the road.

zip 4

There are a total of eight zip lines.  You complete 7 zip lines flying across high ravines through a tropical forest.

zip pool

Stop for lunch, go for a swim, and complete the last one.  The instructor hooks you in and off you go to the landing ramp.  By the end of the day we were all pretty tired even though we didn't know it.
