The bus ride was about an hour ride and they played a video of various dives during the trip. That was the longest drive ever and it made me anticipate jumping that much more. Once we got to the airfield we filled out all the necessary paperwork and listened to the safety instructions before we were able to walk around and see where we would be landing.
There were five individuals from my study abroad tour that went with me which made me a little more comfortable. Unfortunately, the planes were so small that only two people good dive at one time. Watching a few people go before me made me so excited and anxious to just get it over with. I was always way to excited to get scared or nervous. Finally my name was called! I made my way to get fitted with my harness and then Kim and I climbed in the plane with our instructors and we were off.
The ascent took about twenty minutes but it was a view you would never get in a normal plane. Once we got above the clouds it was like there was a blanket of snow with a bright blue clear sky. It was the most beautiful sky I have ever seen! I couldn't imagine watching a sunrise or sunset from up there.
Once we landed I didn't even feel like I had just jumped out of a play, but I was ready to harness back up and go again!
Other than a quick dinner my day was complete. All the adrenaline from free falling out of the sky made me one tired girl.
