PLFXpert 0 #1 August 5, 2001 Hi guys......I just wanted to send a quick post and tell all those from DZ.com that I met in Deland this weekend that I had the best day ever. Not only are jumps only $10 from Aug.4th-Aug-11th (all during Qunicy) but it was so nice talking to all of you; Skymedic, Lisa, Skymama, and Jtval. I knew I'd be meeting up w/ my old pals, Andrea (Skymama) and Joe (Jtval), but Skymedic and Lisa were a VERY COOL surprise! We will have to jump together next time when you guys are not doing a canopy class. As for me, I had the greatest jumps ever and I can't wait to make some more jumps this week while it's still only $10. I have some new pictures of me sit-flying and stand but unfortunately as I was telling Lisa, I don't have any headdown shots b/c BZs camera helmet has a plate on top that sticks out for his still camera but it's not really safe to jump when we're flying headdown together b/c of the way we exit the plane (he holds on to my rig the first couple seconds and then lets go and we fly together. Anyways, he said it's not safe to wear while I'm still new to head down but hopefully this week we'll get a friend of ours to video both of us and then maybe I'll have some stills of that. Joe, I am going to miss you so much. I have never met anyone w/ as much heart as you. I'll be crossing my fingers that you are able to vacation here after your first 6 months in Korea. I would love to finally get to jump w/ you. Lisa....I'm not sure how long you are in town from Atanta or when you'll be back but keep in touch for next time. It was also cool meeting your other friends from Atlanta; John and the Mr. Pink team. Mr Pink actually gave me a heart attack. My gear was near their's and when the DZ called it a day someone just grabbed all their gear bags and threw them in the back of the van. They were about to leave when I realized my GEAR BAG w/ my rig, helmet, dytter, altimeter, log book, jump suits, basically everthing, WAS GONE! We looked all over to see if someone may have moved it and all the while my heart is just beating faster and faster and faster. Finally we spotted the camera guy from Mr. Pink and asked if they might have picked it up by mistake. He took me to the van and THERE IT WAS.....it was like music began to play like I'd just found the Holy Grail or something. My rig has never looked so beautiful as it did when I thought I'd lost it forever. Tell those Mr. Pink guys thankyou for the near death experience.See you guys again soon I hope! BZ and I will probably be jumping in Deland regularly now, instead of Palatka.Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #9 August 7, 2001 Lisa, I'm not even close to sure yet but there's been talk about BZ and I vacationing for a long weekend in Atlanta. We thought we'd get some jumps in out of Mullins King Air and then go to some theme parks (I LOVE roller coasters.) We haven't been able to vacation this summer and we were supposed to be heading up to NY to The Ranch in a couple weekends for the swoop nationals but it turns out we're not going to be able to do that either so we figured we'd try for something simple, and close, like Atlanta. I'll keep you posted and hopefully we can meet up in your neck of the woods this time!Much love and blue skies,Carrie http://www.geocities.com/skydivegrl20/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PLFXpert 0 #11 August 7, 2001 Geese, girl.....a few hours away from Atlanta???? Isn't Atlanta where you jump? Ha ha ha....I think Atlanta is only a few hours away from us. We live on the beach in Jacksonville, FL. Deland is about an hour 1/2 south from us.
