This past spring break, four Auburn students were selected to be part of a spring break special on The Travel Channel in Key West, Fla.

The Travel Channel crew interviewed Elizabeth Anne Leavitt, Ashlyn Seeley, Jenna Hill and Blaire Wheelis on Tuesday, March 17, 2011.

After getting off the boat where the group participated in a snorkeling excursion, they were asked by an employee of Fury Adventures if they wanted to go parasailing… for free.

Leavitt said the group’s immediate response when they heard the news was, “What’s the catch?”

After the employee explained that The Travel Channel would be filming their experience, the girls decided they wanted to participate.

“We couldn’t pass up a free chance to go parasailing,” said Leavitt. “Especially if we were going to be on The Travel Channel.”

The group had to sign waivers in order to parasail and to be interviewed for the show.

“I couldn’t believe we got to go for free and that The Travel Channel was filming us,” said Wheelis. “It felt like a dream.”

The girls were paired in groups of two for their interviews and were asked questions about their spring break experience in Key West, as well as their reaction to being able to go parasailing.

The Travel Channel camera crew also filmed them while parasailing.

According to Wheelis, all of the girls besides Seeley had previously been parasailing.

“They did a separate interview on Ashlyn to film her reaction to parasailing for the first time,” said Wheelis. “It was really fun to watch her be put on the spot and answer the questions.”

After parasailing, the girls were given certificates for a free sunset cruise for the following night from the employees at Fury Adventures.
“We were excited because we were planning on going on the sunset cruise anyways,” said Wheelis. “Getting to go for free made it even better.”
