NWFlyer - I know, the instructor asked me if I could clear my sinuses, and I could easily...otherwise I wouldn't have jumped. And about the full course, I'm debating it right now. It isn't cheap, so I'm rehearsing on how to suggest it to my wife. I wouldn't think she'd have a problem - after all, this first jump was a birthday present from her, so it's her fault!

Made my first jump on the 19th from Skydive Spaceland in Rosharon, Texas. 14,000 feet tandem out of an Otter, pulled at 5,500 feet. Okay, enough with the info and numbers... It was awesome! I was worried that because I had a cold (still have, actually) I wouldn't be able to regulate the pressure, but it worked out fine, no problem (I know, I know, I could've been under extreme pain). But man, what a deal. Looking forward to doing it again!

Just made my first tandem jump at Spaceland on Sunday the 19th. My wife got it for me as my birthday present...but little does she know, I'm now hooked! Definitely going to take it further. I agree with you, gofast - great DZ and great staff.
