Nothing is scarier to someone who is deathly afraid of the plummeting fall to my death down a flight of stairs, than being the last person to deplane.
One by one, bright orange suits are thrown out of the open door into the roar of the wind.
And I was the only one left.
But the freefall down to earth was exhilarating! Adrenaline was pumping, my heart racing, and the air pressing against my lungs. All I could do was smile, hold my breath, and take in the sights.
After all, what better way to see the world than from flying high up in the sky?
Three years ago, I was able to cross skydiving off my bucket list. And I wonder, what's standing in my way from accomplishing the rest of them?
And is there anything else I should add to the list?

great, great moment to reminisce about. takes me back, too. I was just telling my coworker over lunch that 'every day we have the opportunity to do something new.' Live your dreams!
HOLY COW. Wow- I'm afraid I'd start clinging for dear life to the pilot and crying for my mama if I was in that situation. Would you do it again? I admire your courage. I doubt I'd be able to do that:).
Hey Elaibird! You know it! Carpe Diem, fo sho! ;)
Hey TAG! Dude... miss you girl! Knowing what I know now, I'd do it again but ask my tandem guide NOT to go round and round in circles with our parachute! hahah!
Wow BoLA! Wow..... I'm terrified of heights, and did a dive as well, but it was static line, not tandem, I was so freaked that I packed extra underwear...... Being on the ground id nice.....
