Story and photos © Barb & Ron Kroll Add a Thrilling Experience to Your Trip! Escape the mundane by including an aquatic, aerial or terrestrial adventure in your next vacation Age is no barrier to adventure. When we look back on our travels, the adventurous pursuits are often the highlights. Our most memorable experience was a surreal descent down the Cayman Wall. As the pilot propelled our two-passenger yellow submersible down 305 metres, we gazed through a circular window at multicoloured sponges and strange life forms. The most bizarre were the stalked crinoids, which have heads resembling exploding fireworks on long stalks. When food becomes scarce, they lift their feet from the silt and use their feather-like arms to pull themselves to locations with more plankton. We felt as if we were on another planet. 20 | www.snowbirds.org Travel
