Well, we are going to arrive too late to jump, aren't we?! Getting drunk at altitude in a dry atmosphere...ouch. Still, it is Christmas!

On this note, I'd like to pass on a lesson hard-learned. Eloy is a very dry atmosphere at altitude as well. Especially for folks from more humid climates, the need to force water is very real. We have the opportunity to jump for 12 hours as much as we like, and then "CLANG!" they open up the bottomless kegs and it's party time.

By the third or fourth day you can be dry-heaves dehydrated. Because it's cool or cold during the day and you aren't sweating a person doesn't think to make sure to drink a gallon of water a day.

The gallon of beer is guaranteed, but you'll have a better time if you remember to drink lots of water every day before the beer light comes on.

Also, that first jump is at a very different density altitude than most folks are used to! Skydive AZ is at 1500 feet! So, that first canopy ride feels like it's on a canopy a size or two smaller than it feels at sea level.

In fact... what do American beer and sex in a boat have in common?



get it right you brit.... its sex in a canoe... :P



She's from a civilized nation where they have boats.

There's actually a decent amber beer that they have learned to stock in great quantities.
