These ten adrenaline-packed vacations will get your heart racing
Some travelers live on the edge. Never satisfied with lazing away their vacation days on the beach, these thrill seekers look for adventure on their days off. If orbiting the Earth, bungee-jumping from a tower on the Las Vegas Strip, or getting up-close-and-personal with a gorilla sounds like your idea of a good time, you're in luck. We've found ten extreme vacations to get your heart racing and, just in case you aren't quite ready to swim with the sharks, we've also included a similar – albeit less-adrenaline-pulsing – alternative with each of our top adventure-filled trips.
