    the only reason I have for not taking my AFF at skydive new england really is that I want to get away from the East Coast ASAP. I actually did my tandem/first jump there and thought it was a pretty nice place. I'd prefer to jump in CO since I will most likely be moving there in the summer or fall, so it would be nice to maybe find some skydiving friends where I'd be potentially living instead of where I am moving away from. If it was fall right now I'd be more interested in jumping in Maine - the only thing I really like about the east is the foliage :)

    "Stick to the northern states for jumping this summer... better weather in summer You so do not want to be starting in AZ.... its going to be about 115 degrees F there at Eloy today" good point! I have a feeling I will be taking my AFF in CO at mile-high since I don't really want to hang out in MA (or anywhere on the east coast) unless someone told me that one of the drop zones here is considerably better than any out west. Part of me wants to get started right away, but the other part of me can't wait to leave MA at the end of the month and once I leave it'll only be a few days before I am in CO and by the sounds of it, I am going to assume any reputable DZ is a good place to learn. thanks for the responses everyone!

    first city as in the first place i jumped? little confused since I didn't mention any cities but only states. I should probably mention that I will be going through all those states b/c I will be road tripping, then hopefully moving somewhere west (still undecided) Thanks for the response skymama!

    Hey Dropezone forum! if you were going to go somewhere for your AFF as a total newb who only has a tandem under his belt (which i did last month) - where would you recommend? This summer I'll be driving through MA, CT, NY, PA, OH, IN, IL, MO, KN, CO, WY, MT, Alberta, British Columbia, WA, OR, CA, AZ, and UT but am not sure where is best in terms of learning/price/safety. I'm sorry if this has been discussed, but as far as I can tell it seems like most people focus on their area. The thing is, i'll be all over so I want to stop where ever is "best". Any suggestions? Originally I was going to go to Lodi, but i've heard that it isn't the ideal spot for beginners so that scared me away. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!
