when my south beach drinking plans went down the tubes due to my bff bailing out last minute I asked my bf if I could tag along on his trip which was the same time frame. In a weeks time I got my ticket, and scheduled myself to take the AFF course during our stay which was 4/19-4/27. Right from the start everyone was great, manifest helped get me in my class,and get everything all paid for. My instructors were the best and to top it off they actually cared about me which made me feel so comfortable during my stay. The learning curve in AFF is an up and down one, when I had my good days I got praised, when I had a very bad experience and cried cause I was so hard on myself, it seemed like everyone on the dz came by to give me pat n encourage me to keep going, from my instructor,to the dzo to the packers and bartender! (luv ya Paul)It was like a family who took me in and made sure I was taken care of, and I definitely was! on the day before our trip was over I had passed lev 7 and it felt like my mom an dad were there to cheer and congratulate me, I got some crazy song sung for me and a magnars to top it off :) I of course bought rounds for everyone like every good grad should and was thankful I had the best people around me. I know know what its like to live, nothing tops flying through the air and nothing made me feel more alive than my trip to Z Hills....Best dropzone ever...I still get teary eyed thinking of the times there and how bad I want to go back, I'm thinking of moving there!!!! That's how great it was!!!!by the way the facilities are awesome,campers to rent,tv/comp building,they have their own bar, wing suit area, just a very very awesome self contained little city, hence "Skydive City" :)
