Free Airline Ticket - - Where Should I Go??

[Skootz 0]

I have a free airline ticket to anywhere in the continental US that I have to use before February. I live in Idaho and want to get the most out of the ticket. I don't have a lot of cash so I was hoping for a fairly inexpensive place, i.e. not NYC or Miami. Where would you go for a get away?

Atlanta. Several Great DZ`s Nearby. Friendly Natives (well mostly), The Fall is Great weather and then there is the "Everything under the Sun Boogie" coming up soon at that one DZ and The Halloween freely Festival at the other one.

Colorado would be my choice, but it's a bigger trip from Alabama than from Idaho.

Arizona is great. Key West around Christmas? Oh, oh, oh, Salem, Mass. at Halloween!

Or, tent-it at the Turkey Boogie at Z-hills, and you DEFINITELY won't be disappointed.

Atlanta sounds like a good idea. Is the weather still ok in November? I was thinking that would be a good time to go.

I am a new skydiver so I get nervous thinking about traveling somewhere and jumping, but ideally that is what I want to do. But then again Salem for Halloween sounds like an excellent idea too.

I wouldn't worry too much about jumping in Atlanta over halloween. If you're able to jump, you're not having a good enough time anyway.

Oh my gosh! That is too funny. Last weekend my dz had a big plane come to town. Talk about being too hung over. I got only one jump in on Saturday.

Atlanta for Halloween is what you rally want.

Imagine a Boogie with Carnival Rides, Little Blue People, Walking Trees and 100`s of Jumpers.

Actually the weather can get a little Chilly at night (by Georgia standards.. That means under 75 degrees.. below 60 and it is time to break out the Long Johns around here) but the day time is great.

Or even better Mid October for the "Everything under the Sun Boogie" at the Farm. It has well everything under the sun. And it will be less crowded and more suitable for a newer jumper. Free camping and a bunk house available. Probably even find you a ride from the airport. Very cost effective.

Based on my experience, that's the winner.

I wasn't clear whether this was a jump trip when I first answered. If I were coming from as far as you to jump in November, I would definitely do the Turkey Boogie at Z-hills (I'll probably be there myself). Atlanta would be great too (well, certain places) but I just always get a smile when I think of Skydive City at Thanksgiving.

I looked on The Farm's website and don't see any dates for the Everything Under the Sun boogie. Do you know what the actual dates are? Less crowded sounds like a better choice for me...plus Walking Trees may scare me.

I wanted to be home for Thanksgiving. I swear half of my family was born around Thanksgiving...myself included. Plus my family isn't supportive of my skydiving to begin with...missing out on birthdays and Thanksgiving I think would push them over the edge. The way my parents react you would think I am 17 not 27. I know it means they care, but it is just frustrating at times.

The same goes for my parents and I'm 42.

I say you give it to meso I can go to the farm next month... you know... as a birthday present.

Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.

But what would I get in return?

Are you unaffiliated?

Ahhh, that's another thing. You may be limited to your destinations. I mean, it's all a matter of how much time you have as how much you want to fly into somewhere and have to get somewhere else - example (but obviously not in your case) Southwest flies into Birmingham & Tampa, but not Atlanta, so arranging a ride is another thing to consider. I would guess, though that your ticket will take you to Atlanta.

Hope it works out for you.

here is a thread in the Events on the Boogie.

Here is a link to the DZ Reviews of The Farm.

This should be one of the best Farm Boogies Yet.

A friend gave me a free ticket for anywhere in the US and I flew from Austin to Tampa in February. If you're not looking to make it a complete skydiving trip, and want to go somewhere warm, go to Florida. One day you can be swimming with the manatees, the next you can be in Z-hills jumping.

*Note - there are higher populations of manatees November thru March...
