Whitewater Rafting!!!:)


            Whitewater rafting, if you haven’t done it, you haven’t lived.  The thrill is amazing as you go thru the whitewater rapids holding on tight and trying to not fall of the raft.  Rafting is a great way to have an adventure on your family vacation.

Whenever my family goes somewhere with good whitewater rafting, we make sure to spend half a day out on the water having fun.  Generally, you can chose a trip that would allow some down time in between rapids so you can enjoy socializing and having a great time with those you love.

Whitewater rafting is fun, but it is also pricey so make sure to have plenty of money on hand.  I would recommend doing some research to find out which place the locals would recommend.  Sometimes it isn’t the place with the best advertising but may be the small little shack on the corner.

Make sure you are prepared.  In the morning it may be cooler but it will probably warm up as the day goes on.  Don’t wear shoes you like or flip flops.  I would recommend buying water shoes or cheap sandals that strap on to your feet.  I usually wear my swimsuit and athletic shorts, and depending on the weather I may wear a cut off too.

No matter what, remember to have fun and enjoy your time.  Oh, and always follow the directions of your guide so no one gets hurt J
