My sister Daisy is going to Thailand for her summer vacation with a friend, Kelly. Both of them are 21 years old now (I’m 14 by the way). I hope they have a lovely time! Daisy is going to work in an orphanage in Cambodia along her travels, as well.
Jorge Harrington’s sisters Daisy and Chloe did their first tandem skydives on Jorge’s birthday at Hinton Airfield in Yorkshire.(not really it’s Northamptonshire near Silverstone) Daisy was paired with Bill Jenkins and Chloe with a man named Bryan Poole. They loved it, but Jorge’s dad loved his jump more, until he got mud on his jumpsuit! That was so hilarious! Jorge warned him but he wasn’t listening. He just had to get his new jumpsuit cleaned yesterday! Fancy that?
At Skydive Madrid, Ocana, Spain, I finally did my first tandem skydive, at the age of only 13. In the United Kingdom, you have to be a minimum of 16 years old to do a tandem. But in Spain, people as young as 4 (I am being serious) have done it. Also, on our holiday in Spain, Dad became an officially licenced skydiver, too. He had an instructor called Ernesto Gainza, who has done several base jumps including Angel Falls. My tandem instructor was the chief instructor, Edu. I jumped with Paula and Carlos. It was a fantastic holiday. We stayed in a hotel called the Maria Jimena, although we had to stay an extra night in a hotel called the Auditorium because the easyJet flight was cancelled.
Went to London by train to visit the Dungeons very interesting and spooky then we had a ride on the London Eye.
Also we visited Headcorn Parachute Club which in in the county of Kent, that day we were unable to see any jumping.
On our next visit we were lucky and saw some hop and pop activity, what that means is when the skydiver jumps out of a flying machine he deploys his parachute very quickly.

The bodyflight experience will get you hooked what ever the age. Kids start at 5-6yrs old and adults can fly so long as they meet the criteria, there is not really an age limit.
This is Gran Turismo 2 I’m playing. Sorry about the delay, but I thought I’d just post that I got all golds on my IA license and a (thank goodness) green FTO LM (I love the black one but I prefer the green one!). It’s a great car, and next I think I’m going to win a Del Sol LM by getting all IB golds (please let it be a red one, I HATE the black Del Sol LM!). I can’t believe I did it. I started off by getting gold on the test that really annoys me - the test around Apricot Hill in a Honda NSX Type S Zero. I then got gold on the last two licenses today, and I got my green FTO LM. I’ll post more later. This is a great car.
