Are You Experienced?

Xperiencedays.com Adventures

There are all types of experiences. Life. Near-death. Out-of-body.

But rarely are they tailored to your specs: how, when, and where you want them.

Xperiencedays.com, a website dedicated to providing adventures all over the U.S., will oblige — no matter what sort of thrill you’re seeking.

Say you’re the speed-racer type. You can go kart racing in Sonoma, Formula racing at Infineon Raceway, and Land Rover off-roading at the Biltmore Estate. (Or just high-tail around Ft. Lauderdale in a Ferrari.) Prefer to be off the ground? Then take a helicopter tour of New York City. Fly a fighter plane. See the Hudson Valley and Napa from a hot air balloon. Skydive into Monterey.

Like to test the waters? How’s about whitewater rafting in the Lehigh River, fly-fishing in Vermont, and sailing in the San Francisco Bay?

Those with less derring-do (but just as much enthusiasm) can sign up for quieter pursuits: cooking classes with hotshot chefs, Broadway shows followed by cocktails with the cast, dinner cruises with dancing.

Not that it doesn’t come at a price. A seven-day South African safari for two (the first of what will surely be many overseas offerings) will set you back 18 Gs — and that doesn’t include airfare. But it does include keys to your own Land Rover LR3, wine tasting in picturesque Stellenbosch, your own personal ranger, and as much ogling of as many gorgeous animals as you can take in on your drives.

It will end up as one of your ultimate life experiences.

Assuming that’s what you’re in the mood for.
