ladyskydiver 0 #1 February 17, 2003 As I leave the airport on the 13th, it is 20F in Milwaukee. All I can think of is warm Texan weather...skydiving...wandering around Texas....meeting some dz.commers. I have a lay-over in Memphis and this young gentleman gets on the plane and sits in the seat next to me. He notices the Texas tour book I have on my lap and mentions he was born in Texas. We proceed to spend the next 1 hour and 15 minutes talking about Texas - where I'd like, locations to avoid, Texas people. Very wonderful intro to Texas. Despite the rain on Friday, I ended up driving out to Austin and checking out the town, the scenery in-between Houston and Austin, and as much as possible. I never ended up making it to Skydive Houston as a result of the weather. (Oh...well....another trip to Texas needed.) I did end up getting 2 jumps in at Spaceland on Saturday. Talk about wide open areas...nice!!! Although, I did get to experience Texas mud and water...LOL - Talk about icky landings. I so need to start doing stand up landings!!! With my time in Texas, I ended up meeting Pablito, FlyBoyShell, JumperConway, Rebecca, Gemini, Cory, Steve, and many, many others. Sorry to those I'm not naming - I'm really bad at names but excellent at faces. The people that I met were very warm and welcoming and made me feel like I was at home. Thanks, y'all for making me feel so very welcome.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile.
