Can you extend into the first week of August? If so, you gotta go to the Prairie.

it's quite possible as i believe us foreigners get a 3 month tourist visa

Have a blast and make sure you say hello while at Tecumseh. Midwest Freefall also in Michigan is always fun, Skydive Chicago is amazing, and I have had nothing but good times at Start Skydiving in Ohio also.

Feel free to shoot me a pm if you have specific questions, look forward to sharing the sky with you

PM meatbomb. He's done two trips, North West to Florida and then a year or two later North East to Cali. Each time passing through the centre of the skydiving universe that is the Lincoln Sport Parachute Club for a game of paragolf and going via pretty much every other DZ on the way. He might be happy to help with some useful tips.

due to work timings have slipped, now looking at late july/aug/sept.
therefore, chicago & the prairie could well be on!

If it slips another month then you could take in West Virginia and stop off at Bridge Day in October.
It's about 10 years since I visited Tecumseh, but I had a great time there. Nice, well-run DZ and good, friendly people. Enjoy!

Take a day trip to Mexico. Renews your visa for another 3 months I think. Or better yet drive down to Puerto Nuevo and have a lobster dinner. Make sure to hit Skydive San Diego and Tsunami Skydivers in Oceanside California. Rich at Tsunami Skydivers will probably be doing beach jumps around the 4th of July. Skydiving on the beach in San Diego. Doesn't get better than that.

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.
