Lifelist # 6 - "Gone skydiving"
This one was a once-in-a-lifetime event. I am not sure if I had the guts to do it today. But when one is young and courageous and has no family of its own, things seem less threatening, I guess.
So I signed my life away one early morning in late August of 2001. I was traveling all around the US, and what would be better than to do it in the desert near Las Vegas. I had talked to my parents on the way, NOT telling them what I was about to do....
At first, I was not sure if I would be able to breathe so high up in thin air. But after a few gentle gulps, I realized that it was a fabulous feeling to fly. I totally enjoyed soaring through the air towards earth. After only ten minutes or so, it was all over - unfortunately. I can see how people get addicted to this. I think I could, too..... if I hadn't three children now!
So one more picture, the aftermath:
Life is good.

Those are priceless -- that was such a huge thing to do! (and there is always room for the jump No. 2, if you ever change your mind...)
I don't think I realized you'd done that! I used to want to, and I pretty much lost the desire when I had kids. Feels to risky to me now. I may want to when the kids are out of the house though.... :)
