The Night Before the Night Before

Only one more full day then I am off on the big one. There has been still so much to do, accommodation car hire, the jobs I must get done at home, as well as sorting various horse issues out ( Sarah - my daughter, keeps me busy with something to do with the horse).

One of my biggest head aches by far has been transport from the various international airports to the DZ's (Drop Zones). They invariably are in the middle of nowhere and public transport is either a challenge or non existent. However my friends at National Car Rental have really helped me out big time. Sarah Philp has been a real star no doubt assisted by many others and arranged hire cars in every location that I needed them, I am even called a VIP - (I can live with that). They have even covered the cost of two of the hires for me, in view of the cause (NACC) for which I am truly grateful.

I am hoping BBC 5 Live will be contacting me to-morrow - will have to wait and see.

One final thing before I go, Empuriabrava is a great melting pot for meeting skydivers. I met Claudia who works on the manifest in Empuria. Claudia is from Brazil, as soon as I mentioned I was going to Sao Paulo she was elated, she has since contacted her friends out there to tell them I am going out there on my trip, so I feel very sure I will have a great welcome there.

Will try and get one more update in before I go
