Skydiving



is something I want to do before I leave US.

Height and speed combined together have never been my thing, hell I wont even go up on a roller coaster even if you were to drag me but I don't know why I have the urge to do this. I didn't think it was so much on the thrill (that comes second), but more on the experience and the fact knowing that I'll be safe free falling from 8000ft above ground level with an experience "Master" doing it with me.

Was planning to do it this weekend since I have no other pending plans in mind so I checked the website to look for the details. I was warned that it's going to be expensive and I was prepared for it.



Ok la, for beginner it'll be the Basic Tandem package for me (not that I'm planning to do it a few more times anyway) so 199USD is expected, thank god they didn't raise the price either.

If I'm paying this much to do something like this, of course I want to have "history in the making" scene recorded right? So I checked to see if they have this photo or video taking session or whatsoever.

They do provide these services. Except that it's going to charge me another BOMB.



79USD for snapping a damn photo?!?!?!?!


Sigh... now I dont know if I want to go ahead with the plan anymore :(

if not being record..then no meaning for doing it..can show off to others and also no memory

hello my dear!! =P ..of course taking a photo is expensive, it means that someone else also needs to jump off the plane (so they have less room for costumer + the actual cost per person on the plane).. i say you should do it even if you can't show off, I'm sure you'll love it!!

try searching for other locations that is within driving distance. it could be cheaper..

anyhow you should visit the keys! its awesome..

i would say, do it, damn it!
well, maybe you shouldnt take the photo package. Tape your camera to your hand (secretly) and camwhore up there.

or alternatively, why dont you go to the beach??? put on your ipod, people watching, sunbathing and chill. sounds good to me!
