JohnnyZ 0 #1 November 27, 2004 Me and a few friends are looking for a good place to go for a quick 5 day vacation towards the end of January or the beginning of February. Florida, southern California, Eloy... Where is it the most happening this time of year? Anybody aware of any boogies this time of year? Isn't there a Key West boogie some time in the winter? We are all free fliers and just looking for altitude, turbine aircraft, reasonably prices hotels nearby, warm weather and other places to go at night. Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Stacy 0 #2 November 27, 2004 The Keys boogie was in NOvember. You'll be a little late (or a little early) for that. Late Jan-Feb, anywhere in FL is hopping. that's our season! Come check out ZHills, yo can take a day trip to lake wales, sebastian, etc or the tunnel. ZHills has great facilities, awesome vibe, nearby places to stay or camping, 3 otters, and if you want nightlife (the dz has plenty) tampa and ybor city are within 30 mins max. Ybor city is a force to be reckoned with. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AirMail 0 #3 November 28, 2004 If you want to make a trip to South America, Exotic Sky Adventures is going to Uruguay for a 2 week Herc C130 boogie. Google them for details.

skykittykat 0 #4 November 28, 2004 The Exotic SkyAdventures Boogies are awesome. Their next one in Uruguay is from Feb 18-Mar 05. If that is not an option - Eloy!!! Not only does Eloy have awesome facilities - planes, hangar, landing areas, bunkhouse/team rooms, bar/restaurant, etc, it has the weather, fantastic load organisers/people and of course, the tunnel is due to open fully on 1 Feb. OK, I am biased.... Liz Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkwing 5 #5 November 28, 2004 The nice thing about Florida is that there are several DZs, so you can do a tour of them all. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyZ 0 #6 November 28, 2004 Thanks for all the input... I'm thinking we might go to Florida and hit Deland, Sebastion and maybe Lake Wales and Zephyrhills... I've been to Deland before, but none of my travel buddies have... I know they'll like it. South America would be cool, but we're all on a budget. We did Ixtapa last year and would go again this year, but that's also a bit too expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bendywendy 0 #8 November 29, 2004 You missed our Keys Boogie - It was a couple of weeks ago. It's always in November and it's actually on Marathon Key. However, you can still see some fantastic views over Sebastian. Anyways, when you are in Florida - it is mandatory to hit a few dropzones and Stacy gave you the lowdown.
