My Vine Swing
TRIP TIP
Avoid the desire to "Swing On A Vine"
There is a story to go with this sound advise. A very short story that matches my very short "swing".
One day while on a vacation in Hawaii with two of our granddaughters we drove to the beach. Surrounding the parking lot were massive trees with long vines hanging from them. Being the adventurous (sometimes) and athletic (not at all) woman that I am, I thought it would be fun to "Swing on a Vine". I wisely pulled on one of the longer vines to test it before swinging and thought it wasn't a good choice so moved on to one of the shorter ones.
Tarzan's Jane I am not! I grabbed onto the short one nearest me and lifted my feet up. That swing took me the great distance of about two inches. My eyes returned longingly to the longest vine. Reasoning I could go farther if I used more of my body to cling to it, I let go of the one that was too short to get my legs wrapped around and returned to the long one.
With encouragement from my husband I raised myself up by my arms, wrapped my legs around the vine and down I came, vine and all. There was no Swing at all, Just a PLOP!
Luckily for me, it was all captured on video so I can look at it every time I decide to do something adventurous or athletic.
When you travel stay safe and stay off the vines!!
