Here are a few of my photos... http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=100794&id=538445048&l=9e139 Can't wait til' next year!! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Eeek!!! K! Good advice... not checking my rig! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Sweet az!! Thanks for the info :-) Barely 2 days left of waiting- yippee!! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Happy Tuesday All! Oh my gosh- The excitement for this boogie to start is almost unbearable!!! So can anyone tell me how are beach jumps going to run for the duration of the boogie? Looking forward to meeting all of you in merely a week! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Happy Hump Day All!! I just registered (which BTW- if you haven't it is easy to do online and cheaper until 1-11-09) and bought the plane ticket woohooo!!! I'll see you all Wednesday February 11th for some EPIC times! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Indeed!! Stick to Nikon- they'll never let you down... I cannot tell you how many times I have dropped my D300 from my hands or in the air and it still works like it did out of the box! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Thanks :-) He is a freaking ton of fun and keeps this single girly busy!! Awww I know those are amazing too!! If I had a fenced in yard I would have gotten one of those beautiful kitties for sure!! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Hey there!! I just got my reserve repacked in NZ last week and the rigger said they do not put seals on their reserves... So he simply packed it, signed my card off, and then made the makings of the string which typically holds the seal but instead just put a piece of tape stating his riggers # on it in place of the seal. Any thoughts on where this leaves me? Will I need to get another rigger to put a seal on it or will it be valid at DZ's in the states? Or worse yet have to get to totally repacked? Any thoughts are appreciated! Thanks a bunch! Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

http://www.skydive.co.nz/ Awesome instructors, warm weather, blue skies, and unforgettable views at altitude everyday. Lots of folks there would put you up there too for really cheap. In fact the pilot who flies the Fletcher there is looking for a short term room mate so I would contact them :-) Smile! http://www.399FirstDates.com

Hey there! Happy Hump Day!! As everyone has said they are amazing breeds... I waited a long time til' I was ready to handle one of these guys so be ready! I bought mine (~$750 for the bengal/his spots and an additional $300 for the flight and papers) and flew him in (to Michigan) from this breeder: http://bengalkittens.info/index.htm They were very professional and had an awesome bloodline. Photos attached of my crazy little man who is just now a year old along with a video... They are very trainable inside (fetch, hand tricks, etc) outside (on a leash or to scare birds/squirrels).
