Lodi, Ca, chilling at the Parachute center..
For 100$ they offer a tandem jump. No reservations needed, show up, get a number and wait for it to be called. We arrived at 11am and there were a mob of people there, new people as well as pros. It was 3:30pm when we were off into the air, i was the 114th person of the day for a tandem. The list ended at 150 by the time i left.
When the door opened up i was ok with that, when on the ledge that was fine as well. About 3 seconds after hopping off the plane i came to realize that i'm up in the sky with nothing surrounding me. The freefall is where it's at, pretty fantastic feeling of just wind and velocity. That lasted for about a minute and then the chute opens. We float back for about 4-5 minutes and gently land on the ground sitting down.
Check one more thing off my list..
