Hey. Well, guess what? I did it. . . I flew and major cliche alert but it was one of the best things I have ever done. Can not explain what it feels like floating up there above it all. It is so peaceful. The beach, Woolongong, where i did it was amazing. The views were gorgeous as I came down from 14000 ft!!!. Dan, my instructor, said he had only done a dive in one place prettier (and he has dived everywhere) and guess where the prettiest is? Cairns. Ouch! But I would not swap my first jump in Woolongong for the world. I'm gonna save my money now and try and do another one in New Zealand. Hope you all ok. Mum.Dad etc have emailed you some pics and will probably bore the rest of you with the dvd when I get home. Sam xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
