OOPS - I did IT again! FLY FREE that is! :)
The phrase "nothing compares to this" gained a new meaning as we ventured with tandem paragliding again with our amazing instructor John Kraske. And since words are falling short to describe the amazing experience, I will share some of the great quotes that come close to the beauty, freedom & lightness of being that flying offers us as we dare to merge with the clouds & the skies...
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return."
~ Leonardo da Vinci ~
"You haven't seen a tree until you've seen its shadow from the sky."
~ Amelia Earhart ~

"To put your life in danger from time to time... breeds a saneness in dealing with day-to-day trivialities."
~ Nevil Shute ~

"More than anything else the sensation is one of perfect peace mingled with an excitement that strains every nerve to the utmost, if you can conceive of such a combination."
~ Wilbur Wright ~

"Our passionate preoccupation with the sky, the stars, and a God somewhere in outer space is a homing impulse. We are drawn back to where we came from."
~ Eric Hoffer ~

"Whether outwardly or inwardly, whether in space or time, the farther we penetrate the unknown, the vaster and more marvelous it becomes." ~ Charles A. Lindbergh ~
Dare to come fly with us? :) We will do it again & again!

WOW!!
ahhhhh paragliding sounds AMAZING! where did you do it at?
One of my friends is a nationally ranked competitive paraglider who has been trying to get me airborne for a year now. Guess I'll have to try it when he comes back from Wyoming. Thanks for the inspiration.
Happy B-day Ayla & may you have the Joy of a ride in the air & everywhere else! Fly High!
Ladybear after your Vegas adventures this should be like a breeze for you! I want to CUFly
Angelica this particular tandem flight happened on Tiger mountain in upstate Washington & yes it is quite amazing, hard to believe even how easy the trainers make it look.
Mark - I absolutely recommend it - with the tandem flight it is safer than imaginable and with your friend being such an expert, the attraction is even better! Go for it! Is he attending the Rainbow meeting in Wyoming btw? You keep inspiring me! :)
