Ricx 0 #1 February 14, 2003 I just won two free return tickets to any destination in Europe from Edinburgh. So now the dilemma!!!! Where to go? Thats were you guys come in... I need to get as far away from here ( Scotland!) as possible and be able to jump at a nice big DZ. cos I'm going to take my rig on the trip. Any suggestions?? I have been thinking though that if I go somewhere like Barcelona then I can jump at Emporia( spelling!!) but the thing is that I'm pretty sure that in my jumping career that I'm going to get to Emporia so I don't know if I want to waste this opertunity to go there, knowing that in a couple of years I will be back with friends! catch my drift? What I think I'm looking for is somewhere that I wouldn't normally go to due to my jumping as I'm more than confident that I will get to France and Spain soon enough. Don't want to waste this opportunity! Ideas? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neiliss 0 #4 February 14, 2003 How about Portugal. I hear the weather there is quite good and the DZ is cool too. I nearly got a trip to Portugal in March, but it was taken away from me (another story tho'). Check out their website, looks cool to me. http://www.skydive-portugal.com/ Wish I could go too.

wmw999 2,534 #7 February 14, 2003 Well, there are 11 drop zones in Italy just in the dz.com listing. I'd say Italy, as far south as you can get.

Ricx 0 #8 February 14, 2003 Thanks Skymama, I do need someone to look after me when I'm travelling. I'II put your name on the list of possible travel buddies. Quite high up of course! I think Iceland is on the list of European destinations for Brittish Airways even although it is not on the list. Now that would be great! Even if it meant no jumping for a week. Wonder if Iceland has a DZ? hmm... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ricx 0 #9 February 14, 2003 Wendy, That is one excellent idea! Thanks I will have to look into that one. I have until May to book everything so that might be an excellent option. A Grand tour of Italy, which will include visiting as many DZ's as possible in two weeks. wait......three weeks!!! [Richard smiles away] I've not been able to stop grinning all day at work. oh oh! And today is my last day working in Edinburgh, I'm flying down to England to work down south for a month! Hope my luck extends to Valentines Night, I think a trip to a club is in order tonight!! too see what I can make happen for myself! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
