OMG, what an amazing experience I had here in Aruba today. Went skydiving for the first time ever with www.skydivearuba.com.

This is a once in a lifetime not to be missed experience when you visit Aruba. I felt 100% safe, comfortable, and relaxed from beginning to end, and their instructors that you do the tandem jump with are top notch (especially John-very terrific-request him if u go)

To see Aruba while soaring 10,000 feet in the air---incredible!! You must try it!

you are a brave person.

Congrats!

danadog56 · 02-18-2010, 08:11 PM

OMG.....I am way too accident prone to try that......need to keep all hands and feet planted firmly on terra firma !!!
On the upside.....congrats to you for being brave enough, or crazy enough to do that !!!!

An absolute thrill, no doubt about it. I am curious as to where you landed, certainly not at the airport with all the commercial flights? When Beth and I did it two years ago we were at a small county airport (louisa va), which was also the drop zone.

I would say that it was the most exciting thing that I have ever done, would urge everyone to try.

sounds wonderful. Glad you enjoyed it.

But so not for me!
Like someone said I will keep my feet attached to the ground thank you!

Last time I did that ---I landed on another island and took me days to find out where I was. I didn't even have my pass port with me. Hope you had fun

Congrat's to you!! I haven't the guts to try something like that. I can't even go on a roller coaster without feeling sick.

LOL, there is no way you would EVER get me on a roller coaster-I hate them! We landed across the street from where the windsurfers all are...they have a "blue hut" there and that is where they do all their landings. It was a very very smooth landing.
