Wingsuits, Parties and Sunglasses, OH MY!

Between the two of us, since my last blog, there have been 2 trips to California, a trip to Colombia and a trip to the Czech Republic, where Bart is now! Things never seem to slow down around here! It's tough with swooping as there is no real "season".  It pretty much goes year round - so I don't expect the travel to stop anytime soon!  Last month, while Bart was in Sacramento, I decided to head down to Z-Hills to take a wingsuit course.  Wingsuiting is something I've wanted to try for a while. (Don't worry - you'll never catch me proximity flying the cliffs in Switzerland!) I've been searching for my niche in skydiving for a while now and I think I may have found it! The course was so much fun and my instructor, Miguel, was so thorough and made the day an absolute blast.  It was supposed to be roughly an hour long course with 1 jump. He did an extra jump with me and spent the ENTIRE day talking with me and educating me.  I mean, can you believe *I*
