We are sneaking down to AC tomorrow for a few days of celebration. Plan is to stay at the Borg as long as we don’t get assimilated. We may make it to the boardwalk, but I understand the ocean water is a little cold for dipping. Might just try the bungee jump on the Steel Pier. If I remember to bring my camera that should be a fun ride for taking pictures. Anybody else in town? Just look for the guy trying new things and enjoying it all with a cold Heineken. Resistance is futile these days!

Good Luck,

the bungee ride records the entire trip on a camera which they will burn to a DVD 4u, around $10 extra. Try going early in the day as when they aren't busy, they'll give u a 2nd ride for half the price of the 1st & a 3d ride for half the price of the 2nd.

BTW, I found out that this year, the Steel Pier mgmt decided to give their employees a piece of their sales. This is to cut down on irresponsibility [my previous post]. I hope the employees are sober.

I guess I need to get out more. Is it a bungee jump or a bungee ride? Please tell me more about it.

I gather they call the bungee ride slingshot. See it in action about two thirds into this clip:

Another interesting clip of the pier here:

Luv~I think I’ll go for three (or more) by tonight. Have a great day all!

if u go, ensure your camera is secure b4 the jump [u can watch others via camera while in line] as it and other loose things may go flying off into the wild blue yonder when u reach the top
