A vacation can be the time to finally try an activity youve always wanted to attempt, such as SCUBA diving. But as we note, People get some sun and after a few beers, they think theyre 18 again and can do everything. When youre deciding which activities to try, think seriously about your physical abilities and limitations. A guy who hasnt waterskied in 25 years could very likely throw his back out when he tries it in the Caribbean. You have to be judicious.
Try a jetski instead of waterskiing. Dont go hang gliding but try parasailing instead." Of course, if youre in great physical shape, its fine to be a thrill-seeker. But all travelers could benefit by tailoring their activities to their abilities.
