OK Here"s some background. Just got my A licence in Deland Florida and I have 26 jumps under my belt but I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada. It is now getting cold and miserable and very rainy so I am looking to go somewhere warm to work on my B licence over Christmas. I would like to go somewhere warm on the west coast i.e. California, Arizona etc. I am looking for a DZ that is friendly to newbies where I can get coaching as I work on my B licence and has good rigging services. I am 52 and packing my own chute takes me forever and is hell on my knees. Any and alll suggestions greatly appreciated
