SURVIVED!!! Skydiving was amazing!! I would do it again in a second! It wasn’t like any other extreme adventure sport and big roller coaster where your stomach ends up in your throat. The view was breathtaking, the 30 second drop at 120 km an hour was exhilarating and the flight down was calm and beautiful

The plane ride up was when I got a little nervous but nothing to bad. We rode up in a Cessna 182, Dad! They had a fleet of 4 planes- Cessna turbo 206, another non-turbo 206, 182 and a 210. The entire company is operated out of this big hangar. They didn’t explain anything to you until you’re up in the air. So I was kind of thinking…I have this harness on, I’m strapped to a guy that for all I know I’m his first tandem dive, and they haven’t even told me what I’m suppose to do! However, I was happy to find that my tandem partner Hugo dove with Prince Harry in May 2006!! He was very kind and thorough.

It was awesome! Mom, don’t worry, I got a DVD and a picture CD! J

I will try and upload a picture but I can’t promise anything with slow internet connection. I’m going to make some phone calls tonight which would be about 6-7am Thursday morning PST.

Leaving for a Safari tomorrow morning or 6pm PST on Thursday! Love you!

Hi Megs!!!
I'm soooo bummed that I missed your call! I waited til around 8am and then left for an appointment and turned off my cell phone during the appt. I wish so much I would have had a chance to talk with you. You sounded great on your message. I can't wait to talk with you more about skydiving. I really think I'd like to try it someday; and now that you've done it and loved it, I know I will too. I called your dad when I got your voice message and he told me you called him and he was so happy to talk with you. Have a great time on safari tomorrow. Thanks for all the updates. We really look forward to them. We love you so much. Dad and Val.
