Nolimitz 0 #1 July 29, 2006 ....and since I've been hanging out on DZ.com for a little while, I figured I'd pop in and say 'hiya'. It's been about 2 and a half years since my last jump. Unfortunately, I witnessed a swooping accident, and it *^cked with my head. It's been long enough though-I'm ready to get back in the air. For now, I'm stuck on an island with no DZ Hopefully I'll be back on the mainland in the next month or so. I've been reading forums and looking at gear, trying to figure out what has changed since I last jumped. One thing is for sure, the comraderie and brotherhood hasn't changed, and I'm looking forward to that just as much as jumping. Blue skies, Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jewels 0 #4 August 1, 2006 Being stuck on an island doesn't sound particularly miserable! How long until you're back in the range of a dz? JulieTPM Sister #102 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nolimitz 0 #5 August 2, 2006 Hi Julie, My husband and I are trying to sell our boat, the one we sailed down here on:) As soon as it is sold, we are heading back to our home DZ, Gold Coast Skydivers in MS. Hopefully, it will be SOON. We get that all the time, the whole "oh wow, you live on an island-you are SO lucky". It is a beautiful place, but we've been here for 2 years. Once you've seen and done everything there is to do, it's not much fun anymore. In fact, it's pretty boring. Island life is slow. Definitely ready to get back to our old hobbies:) Kim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jewels 0 #6 August 2, 2006 I can see how two years would be long enough! Blissfulness can lose some of its bliss when there is no real variety. I don't know that I would want two full years on an island, no matter how good the first two months might be! Still, I might like to see how these two months would go. . . .
