jessd 0 #2 January 13, 2003 Good to hear that you had a great time. My Dad and I did our first tandem the same day. Although, it was the other way around, his idea not mine!

skymama 37 #3 January 13, 2003 Heehee, we told you it was fabulous, Melodee! I'm so glad you enjoyed yourself!

Michele 1 #4 January 13, 2003 Aren't you just so darned proud? It's an amazing thing, this jumping. I mean, throw yourself out of a plane? YES!!!! What it can teach you about how to live life at 1--% commitment is incredible, and how it translates into your ground life is interesting. You rawk, Melodee. I'm thrilled for you. When are you going back up??? YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!! Ciels- Michele ~Do Angels keep the dreams we seek While our hearts lie bleeding?~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Casch 0 #6 January 13, 2003 I know how you feel. I hate driving up to the DZ (3 hours 15 minutes) all by myself. And my friends have already been up there and they hate it (of course that's cause they couldn't jump). My best friends parents won't let him jump (he turned 17 in september...or october...) yet. He said he'll go up to the DZ again when his parents say yes (or most likely when he turns 18). Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
