Kelsey's Skydiving Adventure

Kelsey wanted to skydive before she left Australia. She was not able to work it in before she left in December, so we agreed to let her do it for a late birthday present. We went to the Byron Bay area along with our friends, Kenny and Glenda. Luckily, there was someone else crazy enough (that would be Kenny) to do it with her so she was not alone. Kelsey said the view was spectacular and you could see all the way to the Gold Coast from the plane. She said it was the best birthday present ever.



Kelsey was picked up at the hotel by a limo provided by Go Skydive. Nothing like riding in style to jump out of a plane!

Lots of papers to sign before we go up.

They got her ready pretty quickly.

Am I really sure I want to do this?

Off we go, into the wild, blue yonder....

Free falling at 14,000 feet and 130 mph.

Safely on the ground.

Looks like she enjoyed it.

Kelsey and her instructor, Dan. Kelsey was a little shocked to find out that he just folded this parachute up straight away to get ready for the next person waiting to jump. There are just some things you are better off not knowing.

I did it and I'm marking if off my list! They say if you never go, you will never know. I will just have to take Kelsley and Kenny's word that it is a great experience because I'm not going.
