    Thanks!!

    Maybe i'll stick to the tandem at Sebastian. It is supposed to be a pretty nice place, and it's always great to have a journey. As far as both places working together, Clewiston doesn't offer AFF, only ISP, where you do 20 jumps and get your A license. Hmm, I wonder how you get that license after AFF at the other school(s). ? . Anyhow, yea, maybe it will be more fun to do the tandem the first time, I won't be worried about passing a level, and then when I do my 1st aff, i'll be a little more comfortable, too. And, even though i'll feel like a puss, no one else will probly think that, i'm still jumping from 13000 feet:) Although i'd like to get the program started, I can always just book that for the following weekend and start the ISP in Clewiston. I wonder if they'll let me pull the (rip) cord/pin on the tandem?. Thanks again! Angela.

    I read posts and have people referencing other things than freeflying, using abbr and such. Just curious, is there a database on what type involves what? Also curious as to what base jumping is. Thanks. Angela.

    Yeah, I know I should, but now I booked the tandems, and it all the way up in Sebastian, i'm not sure how far that is or if I wanna committ to running through the whole program up there cuz it might be too far. I hear it is an awesome view, so I figured, if doing a tandem, why not there?. then, I will probably sign up for the ISP at Clewiston because I could probably go every weekend or nearly every wknd, and even pay family a visit up that way. Do you think this'll ruin my whole first time thing? Is it like i'll never get that high again, and it wouldn't have been on my own the first time... gee, I almost wanna make a trip up there on Saturday and take the darn AFF ground school and do my 1st aff on Sunday, but, it is like 137mi away, and Clewiston is only 87mi away. aaaahh! more thoughts if u can.. Angela.

    lol!! Well, this is 'kinda' (I say that loosely) his birthday present. I have always wanted to dive, and I know he wants to, so I figured i'd take him. I figure, not that bigga deal, i'll do the tandem with him, and if he changes his mind later, he can do AFF with me, if not, well, guess i'm on my own. We haven't been dating long at all, but still, this is his birthday present (hehe, right;) ) Thanks 4 ur 2 cents. Man, I almost wanna go spend them toward my aff now *sigh*. Who knows maybe i'm a total pissant and can't handle falling from the sky..... damn, that doesn't sound right:P Angela.

    Hello again. I am taking my boyfriend with me, and he is not sure he wants to do the whole program thing, and so we're gonna go do tandem dives, instead. I am hoping to get booked up at Sebastian as I hear the view is amazing. As far as AFF, I suppose that i'll see how into it he is, and I guess how excited about it I am once i'm really falling from the sky:D hehe. I am so excited!! I'll probably try the wind tunnel sometime if I really like this tandem thing, that way I can get some kind of feel of control while falling. I'm gonna start a post about what else there is 2 do in Sebastian while i'm up there. Thanks to all for their advice! Angela.

    Thanks all! I spoke to PBXtreme, and they cannot do the aff course on Sundays due to that being their only fly day. So, i'm going to have to explore other options. Im looking at Miami Skydive and Sebastian Skydive, though Miami is probably much more reasonable as far as location is concerned. Yeah, I really want to do straight aff, i'm sure i'll be scared outta my wits, too, i'm hoping to be able to afford pictures, but if not, i'll definitely get some when I make my first on my own jump... .assuming all goes well with this and I don't get nausea. Guess that's another question, I get motion sickness on certain things. Like some boats, and on roller coasters. But, I went on the sky coaster at Grand Prix and was fine, straight down, and up, no flips, I get all disoriented and that is why I think I get nausea. Should I take some kinda dramamine 4 this? How long b4 can I eat? I eat like every 2 hrs normally. Thx! Angela.

    Hello. Nice to meet you and thanks for the welcome! I've thought about the tandem, but read many stories of those who did them, and those who didn't, and I really think i'd rather go straight aff. I'm about 30mi from Miami, I live in Plantation. If you're ever going to be in the area, drop a line:) Angela.

    Just thought i'd introduce myself. My name is Angela. I live in South Florida. I am trying to find a place to skydive this weekend. Decided that I want to do straight AFF. I have been in contact with Palm Beach Extreme Sports, but I think that the man, Sam, seems to not like me:( Maybe because I don't want to do tandem. The chief instructor, Dave Cole, seems nice. I'm hoping he'll call me back so I can confirm. Great to be here, will be doing much reading. Any tips or info are certainly welcome, any locals out there? Angela.
