prepheckt 0 #2 November 14, 2003 It honestly depends how much you want to jump. Last year I spent about 1000."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SublimeBreeze 0 #3 November 14, 2003 How many jumps you get in? Sean Sean In Thailand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prepheckt 0 #4 November 14, 2003 39 or so...I also paid for drinks and food at the Bent Prop. Plus I was there before the boogie, so I had to pay full ticket prices until the boogie started."Dancing Argentine Tango is like doing calculus with your feet." -9 toes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #5 November 14, 2003 I did a rough estimate of my expenditures from last year's boogie and I came up with a ball park figure of 1500. That includes airfare, lodging, jumping and other money spent. Of that 1500, about half was for airfare and lodging alone. I made 60 some odd jumps and spent a few bucks here and there and still came home with some cash in pocket. If anything, bring cash to purchase jump tickets as the CC fee on tickets can add up quick."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolie 0 #6 November 14, 2003 Definitely, definitely no less than $300. I voted $500, but if you have any more you can spend, expect to spend it. From the voice of experience: Don't try to see how little you can swing by on; you never know when you'll really wish you had an extra $200 or so. If it wasn't for the amazing willingness every jumper has to help a fellow skydiver out, my trip to Eloy would've been pretty miserable (due to some gear issues which involved getting my entire harness rebuilt--long story). Everyone at Eloy last year who helped me out (and DivaSkyChick for heading up the fund): I'm still in awe of the skydiving community, and I can't thank everyone enough for their generosity! I have a serious karma debt to repay. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
