iFly part 2
A breakdown of the adventure:
We all arrive at DW's house at 8am. We jump into his car and drive for like an hour and a half. He is not telling us where we are going. We are all watching his GPS and trying to guess. (I am secretly hoping it's not Six Flags because I would vomit everywhere.) We finally pull into Universal Studios parking and he informs the parking attendant that we're not going to the theme park, we're going to City Walk. We are still confused. We get out of the car and walk around a bit. He says we're still early, so we all grab coffee. Then, when the time is right, we keep walking and stop in front of iFly. It's an indoor skydiving simulator - basically, a giant vertical wind tunnel. We freak out - so awesome!

We took a little training class, then suited up - suit, helmet, eyegear, earplugs. Each of us got two 1-minute flights. The first time, we each really just learn how to do it. The instructor is in there the whole time and makes small adjustments to your arms and legs and you just relax and float and feel your cheeks vibrate. The second time, we each felt way more at ease, the time went by too fast, and at the end of each of our minutes the instructor grabbed hold and took each of us higher up in the tunnel. It was such a blast! We'll have to go back.
