kruisekat824 0 #1 April 13, 2009 So, I'm getting out of the military in about a month and am planning a trip around Europe before I start culinary school. Also, I have an extreme case of senior-itis at work and am trying to find anything to do except actual work. Anyway, I am hoping to jump wherever I can while traveling but can't decide if I should take my gear with me or not. I think it would be nice to have my own gear but I have a feeling its gonna be a hassle since I'll be backpacking already. So, anybody got advice about the gear issue or just any ideas about where to travel while there? I really want to go to Switzerland again because thats where I did my first tandem and I loved it there. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shropshire 0 #2 April 13, 2009 How many jumps are you planning to do over here? If only a few then renting could be a good option. If loads then renting could be expensive. You could also leave you rig with some jolly nice Swiss person (yes there are a few... VirginBurner is just an exception) whilst you tour around and then come back for it before going home. Let all of the Euros on here know when and where you'll be, some will try to be in the area for a few jumps and beers, I'm sure. (.)Y(.)
