28 : Sky Diving
Summary: We will be going Tandem, which means your instructor will be strapped to your back and they worry about when to pull the ripcord and important details like that. Due to the BWI, National, Dulles corridor, there is no skydiving in either Maryland or Northern Virginia, so we will either have to go to the eastern shore, or far out towards the west of Virginia. I will be taking the final headcount at the end of July so I have time to negotiate for a better price. more info
