If I ever decide to take the plunge and things go wrong don’t let them tell you guys it was suicide.
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. Every jump has a small risk, do it once and unless you're hooked, walk away and say that was a blast!

Now see that’s a different perspective, one that I might entertain.

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.

Jeff, we stayed at the Holiday Inn & Suites on the beach because they were pet friendly and could accommodate parking for the boat (at least for the first two days).
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 😎😁
