h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

A comprehensive article on bungy jumping lives at http://www.h2g2.com/A258400

This yarn includes a description of the native origins in Vanuatu and is different to the one on my homepage which is a personal perspective of one jump.

Well, dont forget we use ADD's (isn't that a disorder?) in skydiving, so your chute will open if you are travelling at a greater speed then what you are supposed to at a certain altitude... Well, the weathers getting better here, so maybe I will. Hmmm Scuba into Lake Michigan... seems kind of pointless!

Guess he couldn't "hack-it". (never mind.) So where might be a good suggestion to go to for a first jump. I want scenic views... long plummets... ya know? Just looking for something new to try. Getting board with this life!

I wouldn't recommend scuba diving in Lake Michigan, unless you want to go wreck diving. Plus, you'd need a wet suit because the water would get very cold the deeper you went. Wet suits are NOT fun. I felt like a cross between Gumby and the Michelin Man while wearing one to go lake diving in Arkansas one time. No, I'd recommend Cozymel. It's relatively close and inexpensive, and it has some of the best reefs in the world! Yes, I'd love to go to Austrailia and New Zealand and see EVERYTHING, even things above water, but that's too expensive to do on a regular basis, at least it is for me. Cozymel you may be able to get to once or twice a year.

what about rock climbing? Have you ever tried that?

WOW! Thanks for the website! One... two...three.. four... (me counting my pennies) Guess I had better start saving. I LIKE the idea of a "splashdown" bungy. Where you just hit the water slightly when at the end of your bungy...cool....

(Falling asleep to dream of AJ's bungy!!!)

How's about 'Music to Watch Girls By' (Andy Williams). Sprang to mind coz it was in a recent TV commercial in the UK.
