I am trying to figure out vacation spots for next year and stumbled across some wild places. Check these out!
New Beach in Japan:
Grand Canyon: THE NEW "Skywalk:"
Or rather a theme park?? Maybe in Las Vegas!
Or a tennis match in Dubai?
Is that too boring, then a mountain tour perhaps?
Nothing for you? Biking perhaps?
I apologize if you are a little queasy from looking at those spots. I can tell you I have been on the roller coaster in Las Vegas and without question it was the scariest thing I have ever done.
- So which is your favorite?
- Have you done any of these things?
- What is the most adventurous vacation you have ever taken?
I look forward to reading your comments.
Jennifer Stocks says:
I am too much of a wimp to do any of those things, except the beach in Japan. But why would I fly all the way to Japan to go to a fake beach?
It’s possible a very persuasive person could coax me onto the Grand Canyon Skywalk, but I am not sure what is holding that thing up???
I like the tennis court in Dubai (very unique), but the way I play, I would lose a fortune in tennis balls.
Robert Harrell says:
Like Jennifer, I’m too big of a wimp to do this stuff. I, too, was wondering about the tennis balls flying all over the city.
The beach reminded me of The Truman Show.
Fee Sepahi says:
WOW, Merrill! Now I know where that picture of Tiger hitting a golf ball into Dubai, off a green came from, a year or two ago!
About the closest I have come to anything of this nature is a canopy Safari in Costa Rica, which I would recommend, Costa Rica all together for vacationing.
I don’t know that I would give any of the above facilities any business, given the amount of shaking and shivering our planet does, on a regular basis!
Magda Cooling says:
Woooo! While looking at those pictures I was holding onto my Mouse a little tighter than normal.
Only safe spot is the indoor Beach! Can’t wait to hear from Amy – shoot she’d be game for any of those!
Seanjjordan says:
That tennis court just turned my stomach. Congrats.
The one and only time I went to the Grand Canyon, it had snowed there, and the rocks were a bit slippery. I got a bit ambitious with my photography and nearly slipped off a slick ledge. I had to grab a tree to keep myself steady Yikes. And the picture didn’t even turn out, sadly.

I’ve been on the Las Vegas roller coaster and mountain biked down advanced trails…I’ve also been skydiving and driven a NASCAR at Texas Motor Speedway. If it requires signing a wavier…I’m in.
Will Morris says:
What will the Japanese think of next? I would have enjoyed all of the other vacation spots in my 20’s, but they would scare the hell out of me today.
Glenn Davis says:
Okay Merrill here’s a challenge… the Dubai Market Research Invitational. Best of 3 sets. Loser has to take the stairs down. You cover all expenses. I’ll bring the balls.
Amy Quigley says:
My stomach isn’t strong enough to try many of these spots for a vacation. Too stressful for me!! But the beach in Japan is right up my alley. What a unique way to take a trip to the seaside.
I’m putting it on my list! thanks Merrill
Merrill Dubrow says:
Glenn,
That would be alot of fun. Although I would probably pass it after running down the last 30 floors. It could give new meaning to throwing your racquet! Like off the court and over the edge – look out below!
Hope all is well.

I did once go on a helicopter ride from Vegas to the Grand Canyon and back. That was thrilling. The nose dive off the cliff into the canyon was breath taking. They also sold us a video of the trip.
I think, though, that my ideal along these lines would be a balloon ride over the Alps. I might like to do that.
I have a good friend who once climbed to the base camp on Mt Everest. But, that’s not for me.
Khary Campbell says:
The beach in Japan I would certainly visit, and maybe the tennis court in Dubai. The mountain tour and the bike riding would never happen, I’m not sure there is an amount you could pay me to do those!
mjt says:
Where is that mountain walk?
Merrill Dubrow says:
MJT – not exactly sure where that is – I will try and find out and post the answer once I find it.
Thanks.
Merrill

By one of those incredible cyber-coincidences, I received a collection of photos of the mountain walk. It’s called HUASHAN and is in China. There are a number of video reports on the place on Youtube, if anyone is interested.
