>I'm great in an airplane. I'm ok on a ladder up to about 25 feet. Ferris wheels can make me freeze-up and - if I'm pretty sure nobody will notice - cry like a little schoolgirl. I'm supposed to go on a helicopter tour around Manhatten in October and wondered if anyone who wasn't thrilled with heights had ever done this and what they thought about it.

I've never taken a Helicopter tour of Manhatten, but I have taken a Helland tour of Manhatten.

Stop 1: Central Park
Stop 2 through 59: Every pub between Central Park and Chinatown
Stop 60: Chinatown.

Some would say that finding your way through Chinatown at 3am while completely blitzed takes more guts than getting in a helicopter.
