Wet and Wild Ride at Sea World San Antonio


I passed on this attraction at Sea World because I did not want to walk around  wet in the park.  It is called  Rio Loco.  My son stayed with me which I  am thankful because I did not  want him walking around wet either.  Him and I shared the same  idea when it comes to rides lol.  MY daughter on the other hand love this kind of ride.  



All of them were soaked after the ride.  Photos courtesy of my friend Dhemz, thanks for allowing me to grabbed these sis.

Packing Tips for Fragile Items

Looking at fragile items that you need to pack could seem a little bit daunting, but don’t be afraid! Even the most fragile of items can be packed safely and sent somewhere, as long as you pack it well. There are a few things to bear in mind that will ensure that the job gets done properly and you don’t have any unwanted breakages. Here are some tips to go about packing fragile items.

Stock Up on Packing Supplies

The most important thing to do is make sure you have enough packing supplies, so that you don’t end up scrimping and hoping that the items are going to make it to the other end unharmed. If you have an abundance of packing supplies such as tape, filling, boxes, ‘fragile’ stickers etc you will be more likely to do a great job and keep those fragile items snug and safe!

Bubble Wrap It!

Bubble wrap is your best friend so make sure you have heaps on hand especially if you have lots of different fragile items to pack. Think of your fragile item as a baby, and swaddle it in many layers of bubble wrap. If the things that you have to pack are of odd shapes then you can also use the bubble wrap to pad out the container they are in.

Use Sturdy Cartons/Boxes

There is no point going to all the trouble of packing your fragile items really carefully if the box you are packing them in is not of a good quality and won’t go the distance. Make sure that you use sturdy cartons or boxes and that they are sealed up really well so the bottom doesn’t drop out when you pick them up. Also make sure that you use cartons/boxes that have lids and are able to close so you know that there is no chance of items slipping out through the cracks.

Firmly Pack Boxes

Ensuring that the boxes are firmly packed will keep the items in them from slipping and sliding around and there will be less chance of things getting broken. If you don’t have enough items to completely fill a box then make sure that you use lots of filler to hold the contents as firmly in place as possible. This will protect them from getting damaged.

The More Fragile The Item The More Packaging

A great rule of thumb to work by is that the more fragile the item is, the more packaging it will need. Don’t skimp on packaging as its really not worth it to do a half-baked job. If you are going to the trouble of buying all the supplies and carefully wrapping your fragile item then make sure that you go the whole way and do the job properly. Following these tips will help you to achieve success and get your goods there in one piece! For more tips on packing and storage ideas see http:// www.fortknoxstorage.com.au/
