At the start of my trip I set up an email list to send group updates to my friends and family as I made my way around the world. Those group emails have turned into a diary of my skydiving experience. They start with the email I sent after my tandem jump and continue right through to getting my A license. To start with, every email was sent within a few hours of each jump so that the feelings were fresh in my mind as I wrote them. They document how I felt about what I was doing and I'm sure that some people who saw me go through it all might think it wasn't quite like that. All I can say is that this was how it seemed to me as I was doing it!
