flying free - the video

After downloading and updating and converting and uploading (for three days!) ~ the video is finally able to be posted. For those seeing this as a Note in Facebook, you won't see the video until you click on the link to see the Original Post at the bottom of this post.

About the video: I never once thought to check my altitude. Scooter checked hers over and over and there I was, oblivious to it all! LOL! It was not for lack of her trying to make me look either. I thought she wanted me to put my hands up higher!!! That still makes me giggle. To think, I didn't have a care in the world while up there in the air... it was all good. I'm still smiling... :)

Once my group was all down, the others asked if I pulled the cord. I didn't even remember when it happened let alone if I did it. The video tells the whole story though. I talked to Scooter afterwards apologizing for forgetting my "tasks" and she asked, "Did you enjoy it?" to which I responded with an emphatic, "YES!!!" She said, "Then what does it matter who pulled the cord?"

I had the best instructor. And by this video as well as the pics posted earlier, the best photographer too! Thank you again Scooter and Erika!!!

As an aside, we were the last group to go up that day. The next group was taxi-ing on the runway when the lightening started and the plane returned without going up. Our group jump was simply 'meant to be'. Thank you to all who jumped with me. Our final count was 23 which enabled me to fly free... you ALL are the greatest! It's been fun talking about my "I want to do EVERYTHING" Bucket List with you and what we're going to do next. So many things yet to try and so little time to do them!

Let me tell ya'll, there is nothing in the world like flying.
Live like you'll never live twice... :)

Turn up your volume!
And yes, I felt like the song goes... SUPERMAN! w00t!!!!!!!!
