I agree that skydiving is a blast.  I noticed the cost for you
(in Illinois) was $75.00.  My first jump was in the Washington
DC area for $65.00.  The average price around that area was $75.00.
 When I was in Atlanta I could have done it for $45 in '81.
Now that I am in New Jersey (Monmouth Co.) I notice the cost is
$150.  The reason I stopped jumping the first time was the cost and
the drive to the nearest jump site.  Why the cost here?
It seems kind of ridiculous to me, but I guess that they have a
demand without too much competition (this is Lakewood).
Oh well, have fun.
