>>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 think we had the same tour guide when I lived there. Mine would take me on the F train at 1am, make me fall asleep and then wake me up when we had reach either Coney Island or Brownsville Station; depending on which way he thought I was going. For anyone who doesn't know, those two end-of-the-line destinations are definately not the places to find yourself without being armed and dangerous at 1am. I was neither.
