Freefallin'

I just jumped out of an airplane from 12,000ft above Lake Taupo. It's been 2 hours since the jump and I'm still shaking from all the adrenaline and whatever else my brain releases when it senses impending doom. There are no words to describe the feeling that happens when you are sitting on the edge of an open door looking down at the Earth and then suddenly you feel your instructor push you out and you start falling. Incredible!

I was supposed to jump yesterday but it was too windy. The weather here can change so fast so today was absolutely perfect for jumping!

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
