    Well, not sure I’d qualify as a hottie, but this is me on the left…

    Working Xmass eve

    I’m working until lunchtime on Christmas eve… and fly to Eloy first thing on Christmas Day! Vicki

    You’re probably very wise to bank on it being a heavy night! Vicki

    Gremlin (aka my other half Adam) and I will probably be going up the night before – quite a few people do – but this is not necessarily a good idea because it will lead to 2 nights of hardcore drunken-ness on the trot… Fun but expensive! The AGM bit itself is (IMHO!) not really the highlight of the day and if you didn’t turn up until a bit later you probably wouldn’t feel you’d missed out on too much!

    Check this out: http://www.bpa.org.uk/agm04.htm Looks as if the actual AGM itself starts at 10.30am but the exhibitions stands are available from 9.15am. See you there! Vicki

    I'm talking about cookies... I never can figure out what the gremlin is talking about! Vicki

    :0:0 Drop zone closed and weather not exactly cooperative either! Roll on Eloy - only 2 1/2 days left at work!!! Vicki

    The cookies I make you are so damn good they couldn't be improved!!! Vicki

    (Note to self - avoid the pool after about lunchtime...!)

    My current rig is a 1996 Teardrop which I’ve had from new and is still in pretty good condition. However my beautiful new Javelin Odyssey will be arriving in March/April and I can’t wait!

    In my experience, generally when it gets up to a 400 jump limit, most of the staff stop jumping and just sit and watch… there’s a reason for that! I’ve jumped in 400 jump limits a few times and every time I’ve wished I’d stayed on the ground. Vicki

    It's a tough one! How many non-first time balloon jumpers are there going to beon our load? Two 4 ways would be fun but bigger would be better!

    The only time I’ve been in Empuria In summer was August 2002. Apart from losing the first couple of days to wind, the weather was by and large beautiful! As has been said the town will be PACKED with tourists in summer (and apparently August is the busiest tourist month) – expect to pay through the nose for accommodation! Vicki

    Well if you do want to book your own, apparently the cheapest option is through Expedia - you can book a double room for one person for £40 which is WAY cheaper than the advertised BPA rate. Of course crashing on a floor is even cheaper still! Vicki

    Have a look in Places to jump as there have been quite a few threads on it there. In short it is a beautiful DZ, located near to a fun town with plenty of stuff to do. You will find coaching available for all levels and in all disciplines. A great DZ - highly recommended. And the views in freefall are amazing! The only downside is the Tramontana (mountain winds) which can sometimes come in for 3 days at a time. But if they do, just hit the nearest bar or the on-site go-kart track or in summer the on-site swimming pool. Vicki

    Yeah, Adam and I will most certainly be there! Have you booked a room yet? Vicki

    The BPA AGM is f*cking awesome – you will get drunker than you thought was possible! Vicki

    Hey Alana – Adam (the one in the sheep costume and the sheep thong… aka gremlin) and I will be in Eloy from 25th December. Btw – before you start wondering wtf Adam’s doing in a sheep costume… it was the Netheravon Christmas party and the theme was Australian! He wasn’t the only sheep! You are going to love the Netheravon parties – like Colin said, get your party head on! Vicki

    I set 3 alarms too, approx 5 minutes apart with the last one being at the other end of the room so I have to get my butt out of bed to switch it off. I hate mornings! Vicki

    Weather sucking in England too – and the DZ is now closed until January . Roll on Eloy ! Vicki

    The only Cessnas I have jumped are: Grand Caravan , 206 and 207. No 182 yet! Most of my jumps have been from Turbolets, Otters and Islanders. Vicki

    I absolutely love my Pro-track – it logs jumps that I forget to, adds up my freefall time and tells me all sorts of other stuff that I may or may not want or need to know. It’s user friendly and just generally great!
