So many years of thinking, stressing , imagining the worst, debating the merits and demerits of doing it alone, and then in a matter of 60secs it was over.
I had coffee and 2 slices of toast for breakfast. Bad ideCa - they kinda stuck in my throat for the next 2 hours as we made our way to the drop zone. My panic levels continued to go up but i put on a brave face and laughed at myself out loud to reduce the stress. Instructions seemed simple enough though the plane ride up seemed never ending what with being the last one to get off the plane at 15000ft!!
Cindi , the only female tandem skydive instructor was paired with me. Pretty knowledgable and kept up a pleasant chatter throughout. Gotta thank her for keeping me sane. Jumping off the plane was crazy but surprising , once done , and once I realized I could breathe, it felt great rushing to the ground amongst the clouds at 200 km/hr.
It was reassuring to have the parachute open up though it felt a bit scary to see the ground approach in so near and fast but the landing was smooth after a few fun curves.
And man was I glad to have landed on earth again. Now onto my next flight to Perth.
