Eloy was a blast, everything it should have been.. lots of jumps, lots of money spent.. 20 minutes in the tunnel.. high-altitude skydive.. even a hot air balloon jump!

Ahh, but thats not even why I’m posting today. All winter long, waiting for skydiving season to open, is no easy wait. Mostly it’s the Michigan winters, the combination between the absence of my favorite past-time and just a healthy bit of cabin fever.. it’s not fun, but once it’s done, it’s done.

Opps.. not this year! We had a great opening day this year.. a little cool and windy in the morning, but that settled down very nicely into the evening; I got eight jumps all day (my best ever)! Then the next day, what happens? SNOW! Can you believe it? 6 inches of snow in April? It’s crazy, though, it does look like it will be gone fast enough not to interfere with jumping next weekend.. :)

But as of now, I’ve got reason to rejoice, and trust me, I’m loving it. Come hell or highwater, I’ll soon be going on my first vacation in six years!!

Airline tickets are now booked.. come February 11th, I’ll be leaving my way from Jackson to Detriot to board my flight to Eloy, Arizona and Skydive Arizona. Lets all hope the skys are blue, the temps are warm.. and there is NONE of that rare desert snow that week!!
