I have to very cautiously traverse those 20 feet and somehow make it to that open, inviting window.

Now, that would be my worst nightmare - I'M DEATHLY AFRAID OF HEIGHTS!!

What's your worst nightmare like??

Next time you come to the USA you and I are going to the top of the Empire State Building.

JJ, I'm with you, but this is my true story about heights.

I was on the South Kaibab trail making a descent to the river. It was my first hike of the Grand Canyon and solo at that. I missed a turn in the switchbacks and kept following the trail out on a ledge. It kept getting narrower and narrower. Then I came upon a tree growing vertically out the side of the Canyon.

I then realized that mules could not travel on this trail and must have made a wrong turn. Then I looked down. OMG, the trail was about 3 feet wide with a 200+ foot drop. I got on my hands and knees and crawled back until the trail widened. My whole body was shaking when I stood up.

on the plus side however i'm in watch heaven. so many different types around here. Most Rolex's I think I seen In a day, lots of people glancing at my GV. I went into Iwc and was really impressed with their stuff, the new Big Pilot limited edition to be exact. 1149 peices and WOW what a stunner. Methinks im going to go home poorer in the monetary sense but with a new IWC. hmmm I gotta think about it I know I got the time to do so.

I sometimes have an anxiety dream that I am back at University with 6 exams in one week. I have not been to any lectures all year and I have not done any revision. I panick that I will not get a degree after 3 years of hard work.

I have also had the dream (several times) where I am perched on top of a very high structure which is about 1 ft square at the top.
