Peej 0 #1 August 19, 2004 After a month and a half of travelling i'm back in South Africa and i'd like to say a HUGE thank you to Perris, Rantoul and the USA. I had an absolute blast, made so many friends and above all did some awesome jumps. I'd heard the Perris crew could be a little "stuck up" and that Rantoul could be dangerous and filled with yahoos. I found neither to be true, the staff and jumpers at PV were awesome and unbelievably friendly and the organised loads rocked my world! Rantoul was unbelievable and the people, the skydives (especially the birdie flocks) and experiences i had will stay with me for the rest of my life. And it was SUPER cool to meet a bunch of dotcommers! (There are too many to individually name and thank) Mucho, mucho thanks to everyone for making my time in the States one of the best of my life. I can't wait to get my ass back over there! OK, soppy post over, carry on peace out PJ Advertisio Rodriguez / Sky Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skybytch 273 #6 August 20, 2004 Hey, didn't I meet you late in the week at the Precision tent? Some form of intoxicant was involved if I remember correctly. Glad you had fun! See ya next year? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VanillaSkyGirl 6 #7 August 20, 2004 I don't think that I ever met you (my leg injury has kept me away from Perris), but that's wonderful that you had such a great time while here. Perris is always awesome and Rantoul (my beer time, too) was amazing, as well. Once again, I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself so much! Come back soon...

It’s probably a good thing that you left the country before immigration heard about THAT night on the Sunset Strip…. Maybe next time you’ll make into the SkyBar, although you may have to leave the Kiwi and Ms. Windsock at home! Look forward to your next trip out this way.

I really didn't think we'd be able to pull you out of that nudie bar in time for your flight... and you let Colin drive?! Rantoul must have been a walk in the park after that. Sorry 'bout SkyBar, but that grocery cart ride up Sunset was way too inviting. ;) Catch you on the next trip!! -Brandy PS- Lindsay's right... Colin cried.

PeeJ and Colin both cried at the exit point at a Potato State bridge. Colin was crying a little harder than PeeJ when he realized I had packed for him. I'll try to make it to South Africa in the next year. I'm leaving Perris in about a week and a half.
