    Hey, my wife and I are visiting Ireland .. starting tommorow. Unfortunately there has been some kind mixup at the motorhome rental agency ... they can only give us a motorhome for 6 days (10 were planned). That means we dont really know where to stay the last 4-5 days ... we thought of staying in Dublin the whole time but we dont want to be ripped off ... one of those castle hotels would be great also ... ANY SUGGESTIONS ARE GREATLY APPRECIATED! PM ME! BLUE SKIES!

    Hi all, Sally and Martin are instructors/coaches who demonstrated a level of professionalism rarely seen today. I learned and understood more from them in those 2 days than I have from anyone else. There are many coaches that start with "what is it you want to do?". Sally and Martin actually helped me to first get to that answer and then take action to achieve it. Having not jumped for a while, I was a bit nervous about whether I would hold others back. At no time did Martin or Sally ever act as if I was less for where I was at in my learning process. Sally‘s and Martin's communication skills and coaching always gave me the confidence to know I could fly. They weren't just easy to work with, they both gave 100% so that our camp was well worth the money and time I invested. Blue Skies, Dirk

    Happened to me, too. 1. Wear a full face helmet (safer, too). 2. Hydrate before a tunnel session. 3. Claritin :)

    Hi, I am interested in buying 1 hour of tunnel time with coaching (freeflying) for the Bedford tunnel. Unfortunately I cannot find any relevant pricing information on their website. Who do I have to contact? Thanks for your help, Dirk

    Hmmm ... I am little bit confused by this ... why do I have to pay more if the total numbers of packjobs is above 100/150?

    OK, check this out ... I installed a flash-slideshow on my lo-blog (http://loadorganizing.blogspot.com/) and I am planning to "post" some of your pictures taken during the boogie ... what do you think?

    Hi Betsy, thanks for your post, I really appreciate it . Will there be only one cross country jump?
  19. dirk.baumann
    Please add: dirk.baumann Booked my flights several days ago :) What's up with the cross country canopy ride? It was mentioned above but I could not find any additional information ...

    So I finally decided to give the Skydive AZ Holiday Boogie a shot ... booked my flights yesterday. Man, I am so exited
  22. dirk.baumann
    Thought so ... poor, poor me

    You can feed me, I am not a troll .. check out the german forum (www.skyger.de) if you like :)

    OK, I was afraid to post this but I hope I feel better afterwards.... I considered giving the famous Skydive AZ Holiday Boogie a shot, BUT ... frankly I was more than a little worried that we (as Germans) might not be welcome in the US because our government refused to join the war effort in Iraq. What do you think? Is this just german Angst?

    You got it
