Emmie 0 #1 April 2, 2002 (long) I just got back from the sunny state, or as I would like to call it the cockroach capital of the world. I wish I could say that I loved Sebastian, but I can't. Being there made me appreciate my own friendly little dropzone where everyone knows each other, and helps each other out. The dropzone itself was great, I came during CREW world record attempt practice so I got a great show. And I did meat some good people there. But that was it. The winds picked up the second I got there, so I didn't make a single jump. Everyone was too busy to pay any attention to me, and I will not even talk about the bugs. OK, I will. There are these giant monstrous crickets in the showers about 2 inches long, the second you turn on the water they run out and start crawling in circles around you. Plus, my third and final night there I found roaches in my bed. But that's not the worst part.The trip made me realize that there are assholes among all people, including skydivers. I ended up being stalked by a middle aged, drunk, perverted fuck. He invited me to have dinner with the rest of the CREW dogs. Me being the trusting naive idiot I never thought anything of it, untill the old fucker got me in a car alone with him in the middle of nowhere, trying to get his way with me. I had to fight him off, and finally managed to make my way home. I then realized that he parked his trailer right across of mine, so I had to sit the whole night terrifyed he was gonna burst in and rape me. I was completely terryfied angry and disguasted. The worst part is that I was there all by myself with noone to help me out. I know it isn't the dropzone's fault, he was just there visiting, but after the whole insident, plust the roach invasion, I physically couldn't stand being there for any longer. All of my expectations were shattered, and I needed to get out of there.So for the good part. I had a blast in Orlando. I went to all of the parks, plus I put in 40 minutes at the wind tunnel, so by the end of my session I was turning points, and playing tag with the tunnel rat. My flying skills improved by about 200%. The bad news s that I'm still stuck on AFF, after 6 months goddamit. The good news is that geting throught the rest of AFF is going to be a breeze. So the trip wasn't all a nighmare, besides being stalked and the bug invasion I had a great time. However the next time if ever I visit Sebastian I'm gonna make sure I bring a boyfriend or someone to keep the freaks away, and I'll make sure to book a hotel.

ADRNALN 0 #3 April 2, 2002 Once again I am stunned to see how many jerk-offs there are in this world. Well, I am glad to hear you able to salvage your vacation. I have been tossing around the idea of trip down to Orlando for the tunnel. It is good to hear it helps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #4 April 2, 2002 Sorry you had such a rough time. I wish I could have been there, I'm sure I could have taken care of that asshole for you. "Homer Simpson, smiling politely." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 April 2, 2002 Sorry to hear about the crappy stuff Emmie. Assholes are everywhere. About the bugs.....they do grow em big in South Florida don't they. Texas too...LOL. Damn things are everywhere. BTW....they don't call them roaches...someone came up with a nicer name of "Palmetto Bug" I'm sure the "Big DZ" atmosphere takes some getting used to. You can definately feel a little lonely. You might try Deland next time around. I'm sure Skymama would take excellent care of you. Good luck with your AFF."I'm a danger to myself and everyone around me!"-Clay Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ChromeBoy 0 #7 April 2, 2002 Sorry you couldn't jump Emmie. At least you got some Wind Tunnel time. It is weird at those big dropzones unless you have a friend or two with you. As for the loser, it's good to know that your not a slut! joke Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites QuickDraw 0 #8 April 2, 2002 Real sorry to hear this Emmie, I saw the crickets you were on about (being guy's it did'nt really bother us) we spent quite a few night's feeding em to the frog's.I'm afraid we did'nt see any asshole's while we were there either (i'm sorry to say) I hope this doesn't put you off in any way, i plan to finish my AFF here and return back there about the same time next year.Weather is the one thing that none of us can help with, i spent 7 hour's waiting around the manifest for a slot whilst watching (seemed like) everyone else jump, them wind hold's sure suck but hell...the summer is just around the corner, and we will get there eventually......Billions of people living out their lives..Oblivious..

Got to agree. I would recommend Deland as it is a big DZ with a skyvan and an otter, relatively close to Orland for day or night trips, and pretty friendly people. Also had good luck in Lake Wales. Not too far from Orlando. But in the heart of the Blue Hairs. I was there once when some actually came out and clapped for us.

I've never been to Sebastian so I can't speak for the people or the bugs. All I can say is the jerks are everywhere, not just in FL, and other states have their own kind of bugs that we don't have, so I hope you come back another time, and give us another chance. If you ever get the chance to come to Deland, give me a call.AndreaThe brave may not live forever, but the timid may not live at all.
