Hey Bets, I looked all over for you this weekend, but never found you. I did however meet Sky. Seems like a pretty nice guy. Met Lippy but didn't know it was him. He did a high altitude jump with the group I went with. All in all a great weekend

[begin sarcasm] And here I was just saying to friends how awesome all you yanks were. It's nice to feel the love...

Got home last night. 39 jumps in 11 days, and I'm pooped! Eloy is a sweet piece of heaven. I miss it already, and I will be back!

Met Lippy, 174fps, Canuck and Betsy. If I'd known Keith or Wingnut were there, I'd have found them too.

As soon as we got there, just after we climbed out of the van, we heard miniature thunder and looked up to see 23 lovely canopies opening above us against a perfect blue sky. I was instantly in love. That much traffic was intimidating at first, coming from a Cessna 182 dz, but after a few days it was just magical.
Very cool to watch the teams training, to be on loads with Endeavour and Airspeed! and to be completely surrounded by skydiving. And what a riot to watch the spectators.

Finally got to see the 300-way video in the pub. Sweet.
Listened and learned more in 2 weeks than I have in the last 8 months.
Took a canopy course and I'm finally starting to glimpse how much there really is to learn about flying my canopy. Michele you were right it was a great investment of my time.
Didn't get to do a balloon jump! Arg! A dust storm yesterday morning wiped out that jump. I'd strategically left it until last, to be my 100th jump, and the weather didn't hold out. Not impressed.
My hubby did his PFF training and is already working on his 'A' requirements. Very cool to be in the plane with him, and he's as hooked as I am.

Now I need to rest and warm up. It's stupid cold here at home!

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

I'm already making plans for next year
Drive down, spend a week at the holiday boogie. Go do touristy things, return and do the Invasion. Yup, I like the sound of that.

I never really got the chance to catch up with you during an un-busy moment. Always another load to get on, and the days went so fast. Great to meet ya though!

By this time next year I'll have my 'B' and be able to do more stuff with more people, not just 4-way coach jumps. And I don't plan on being a belly-flier forever Yes it's fun, and freeflying looks awesome, but freestyle is calling to me...
