A lot of people escape the winter cold by going to Florida DZs. Jumpers from all over the world, in fact. It's quite an experience. If you get half a chance go to Zephyrhills or Deland or some place. It'll open up a whole new aspect of the sport and be lots of fun. This is exactly what I am doing next week as an AFF student in NC. Round trip flights can be had from Durham to Orlando for less than $100 including fees. I am hoping three days at Zephyrhills is enough time to finish the remaining 15 jumps to try for an A license.
