You don't need to go there to get that "floating" feeling

I'm dead scared of heights. I've been up Sears Tower so many times but have never had the guts to stick my face to the windows

How high is the glass bottom deck in Sears?

I've been to the CN tower, which has a glass deck around 340 meteres high, i think...and the Grand Canyon Highwalk, which is about 4000 ft, and absolutely breathtaking..

Just read your du'ahs and do it Nik... you won't regret it

That looks amazing - I love the one in Grand Canyon.







A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

I am scared of heights too. In a recent visit to mile high bridge I did not go on it . The kids did.
Mile High Swinging Bridge - Grandfather Mountain
While driving down my car from that mountain I was scared to death all the cars behind me were honking at me for my slow speed.







I am a man with a plan. A plan to live a simple , fulfilling life.
