Hereeee I am all suited up! How's this for a story... All my girl friends went sky diving in hawaii (well at least the ones who wanted to go) and after seeing their videos I decided it was something I wanted to do. So I found a crew going in cape town.. First morning we arrive we go to the markets then to the van that's picking us up. I'm not so nervous because I knew what to expect after seeing everyones videos and even the girls who would be the biggest scaredy cats of life went and said they loved it so I really wasn't worried. We get to the hanger where the planes are and this guy in an accent is scremaing at all of us to make groups of three. There is 16 of us which is not divisable by three and I was in the group of four and he like kept yelling at us that were 4 people it was so weird but kinda funny so jon and deepaul put their names on the white board and then me and kyle do and were prepared to be the last group. I ask about getting a video and he says there is none, they're broken. I'm like YOUR KIDDING. Ur telling me I'm going to jump 10,000 feet out of a plane and I'm not going to be able to watch it afterwards. HA! He says I'm sorry blah blah blah... 10 minutes later this man comes back... WHERE IS MOLLY.... I say I'm right here... He goes who are you going with I say Kyle... WELL WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR GET YOUR GEAR ON YOU GOTTA GO! I'm about to explain to him were supposed to go lasr but he cuts me off and says You wanted a camera pauls gunna film you. So off I went into my harness.. And kyle and I were the first ones to go. The plane ride up we were laughing and smiling and looking at the view. At this point I knew it was happening... The only way down was out of the plane so there was no turning back. We kept asking how high we were and our ansewers were 2 thousand, 4thousand (not even half way) so we stopped asking that question bc we didn't even wanna know! Paul my tandem starts screaming in my ear I can't hear a damn word he's saying something about left right left right I don't know. Next thing the plane door opens and we hear a big wooossh sound. 3 seconds later... Kyles out the door. Gone in a flash. Here's when I start freaking out! Paul is pushing me towards the door and I'm just saying oh no oh no oh noooooooo ahhhhh (as I'm zooming through the air at 120 miles per hour) then I start smiling and laughing and screaming this is amazing!!! Coolest thing I've ever done in my life. 30 seconds later he pulls the shoot and we go flying into the air! He steers the shoot around alittle and then let's me steer it. Spinning around in circles just looking and the view. Then pauls steers us home for a safe landing. And that was sky diving... So for those of you who are interested we can have a dvd watch party (in less than a month) when I come home!
