Murder maybe, suicide NO. |
Go for it. Take the wussy option of a tandem jump (I did) the guy on ya back controls/overrides everything so make sure he's sober. :rolleyes: Every jump has a small risk, do it once and unless you're hooked, walk away and say that was a blast! RR |

Slight hijack. Good place to stay in Vero Beach for a scouting trip for retirement property? Would be driving over from Clearwater Beach/Dunedin.

I have been up in parasails 100s of times, we used to cut the tow line and glide down from a 1000 feet when things were slow .Tandem hang gliders a dozen times. Yet to Jump out of a perfectly good airplane. |

It was very reasonably priced and the manager (Chris) is awesome, as is the entire staff. There are several very good restaurants within walking distance (Bobby’s, Ocean Reef, Seaside Grill @ Jaycee Park, Lemontree, The Tides). The rooms aren’t anything spectacular but they are new-ish and very clean. If you happen to stay there introduce yourself to Chris and tell him Kelly Cook (the guy with the two Vizslas) sent you. The boys (my Vizslas, Tucker and Wade) had won the hearts of the entire beach community by the time we left 😎😁 https://www.ihg.com/holidayinn/hotel...oc/hoteldetail |
Thanks, Kelly. Don't need anything too awful fancy since we will be bird-dogging property most of the time. I'll pass the suggestion along to my trip organizer (aka Wifey!).
