I too have had allergies since I was little but out of everything,I absolutely SWEAR by flonaze spray. In addition to pills. I am pretty sure the only way to get it is by prescription. Def worth a shot!

I just bought a super compact Nikon S210 from costcos website (no membership required) It came with a memory card, case and rechargeable battery. So far I am quite happy with it. cnet.com is great place for reviews also.

i had this problem when I did tandem. The instructor had to keep forcing my legs up until it clicked in my little peanut brain that i had to keep them up and back. Apparently they were hanging funny which put us in to a turn or something. it was really funny to watch the video.

Incredible is only the start!! i showed my roommate the dvd from my tandem jump, and he's like, "so were you scared getting to the door?" i said no not really and he called B.S. But it all happened fast and slow at the same time there was no time to be scared. It was strange to board a plane knowing you wont be returning on it...

Yeah I have glanced at the classifieds and gear is definitely expensive. I have a bad habit of jumping in to things and going over board. Thats why I am waiting to get started. Keep me posted on your experiences down there. With the first course did they test you? I would guess that its a lot to take in.

Thanks Toastie, I am pretty sure skydive San Diego is going to be the one. Hawaii is VERY beautiful, I highly suggest you make a jump if your ever there! Do you have your own gear yet? I figure for the first few jumps it would probably be better to just use theirs? Its probably going to be a couple months before I can take the first course. I can't wait!!

Hey I am brand new to this forum also. I have not been to any DZ's in San Diego yet. I just did my first tandem in Hawaii a couple weeks ago and now I want more!
