We left early knowing we would have a nice little Wednesday ahead of us. Jiffy Lube, the laundromat, and Home Depot, we wern't sure if we were going to have enough time.
After hours of errands we finally had some fresh oil and semi-fresh underwear, which in hindsite we should have waited to wash after skydiving.
After finally reaching San Diego we quickly checked into our hotel and met up with Schwartz for some sushi and drinks. We decided to call it an early night so we could be sharp and ready to jump out of a plane the next morning.
::buzz:: The morning alarm sounded and Zach's panicing began. After eating a quick begal and releasing our bowels we headed for Pacific Coast Skydiving!!!! Wooooo!!!!!
After literally signing our lives away we met our new best friends Eric and John, our tandem partners. In a surpize move, Ben and Zach opted to jump first (suckers). They strapped on their harnesses and preceeded to enage in the two minute instructional/safety speech from Jon. After doing a years worth of thumbs up and fist bumps for the camera they loaded up into the airplane, which I'm pretty sure was smaller than the car, and headed for the sky. Brett and I caught a ride out to the landing zone and waited. All of a sudden we could hear screams coming from above. First Zach, then a minute later we heard Ben as they both soared through the sky. We then did it all over for Brett and I. Afterwards we waited for our videos. Brett was informed that his camera had malfunctioned and they did not capture any his freefall.
After we left the woman from Pacfic Coast Skydiving called to inform Brett that his super human/deadly accurate fist pound managed to stop the recording......thanks again for the courtesy call lady.
We then headed to Pacfic Beach for some lunch and to relax for a little on the beach. After Schwartz got off work we headed out for some mexican and drinks.
