skymama 37 #1 December 15, 2003 $25.00. That's how much extra it cost me to send my box of stuff to Eloy via Priority Mail instead of Parcel Post. If I would have gone last Friday, I could have sent it Parcel Post. The total price to send my stuff? $56.00! That's just for sleeping gear and skydiving gear, not including my rig. It sure beats hauling it through the airport though. Now I might be able to just have 1 bag and my rig in my gear bag at the airport....lol, 1 bag, oh who am I kidding?

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #11 December 15, 2003 Wowie Andrea! This bag thing is one of the reasons why I luv ya! Until my mid-twenties, packing for a trip meant packing everything but the kitchen sink! For the past several years, I've become an expert at traveling lightly. I traveled to my S. America (in winter)/Amazon trip (both hot and cold weather) with one small carry-on and a shoulder bag/purse. I felt so efficient! Anyhoo, I understand about needing a little more space and items for this jumping trip, Andrea, and I will help you with your bags when I drop you off at the airport. (Don't worry, we won't procastinate and arrive late...LOL!) About the luggage needed for this trip... I may also take more than my normal amounts of luggage because I am a cold-weather chicken. Now that I know how much luggage that you may be taking, I don't feel so bad. Let's just hope that I have a new SUV by then. The car that I regularly drive is a silver Benz, which looks so out of place on the DZ. (It's a bit embarrassing.) Anyhoo, keep your fingers crossed for that SUV! Btw, you may tip your driver (me) with a Malteser or two. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #12 December 15, 2003 The box just had a sleeping bag, pillows and my gear. The suitcases will only be packed because cold weather clothes take up So much room! And, since I was freezing today with the high of 67, I need a couple of layers for each day! QuoteBtw, you may tip your driver (me) with a Malteser or two. Ha, you've got to be kidding. Share my Malesers? Yeah, right! She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VanillaSkyGirl 6 #19 December 16, 2003 Quotei wish i had that embarassment!! You don't understand...I feel so out of place and "over-dressed" in that car on the DZ. People at all DZs have been so nice, but I am a little embarrassed that I may look like a show-off when I drive up to new DZs in that car. I am not showing off...I just have no other car to drive. I had saved money to buy myself a new SUV earlier this year, but I decided to use all the savings that I had to buy my new car, immediately after jumping for the first time earlier this year. All my "car money" went towards AFF, my gear and jump tickets. I don't regret my choices, though... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites DaGimp 0 #20 December 16, 2003 then trade in the car for an SUV adn you'll feel better...problem solved "Professor of Pimpology"~~~Bolas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites VanillaSkyGirl 6 #21 December 16, 2003 Oh, it's a long story...the silver benz is a loaner (one of my dad's). My car is a gold one (benz), but it needs to be sold. It has had too many problems, lately. I am getting an SUV, but I am picky about major purchases. (I have been looking on and off for a year.) I need to live with this vehicle for the next few years. Basically, I need a vehicle which I can take to the DZ and which still looks professional at work. It's not easy to find that middle-ground with such contrasting life style situations. Edited: I forgot to add something. Please don't get me wrong...I LOVE (and appreciate) driving the Benz, but I always feel a little funny driving it onto the DZ. Sorry, Skymama, I hijacked your thread.
