So I just got news today that the Microlite pilot and his passenger crashed and died a couple of days ago, which was a couple days after my flight on the microlite plane. I didn't go with this particular pilot but there were just two so I did end up meeting him and got to hear his love for hang gliding and flying. He was a very nice man father of two and really loved his job and the art of flying. He died living out his dream and he and his co-worker allowed me in it by giving me the most beautiful flight I've taken in my life! It's crazy to think that that could have been me in that accident. Yikes!! You really are forced to live in the moment here doing these crazy adventures. That being said if that did happen to me I want you all to know that I went out peacefully because this trip has been an awesome experience and I'm very content here. However if i do get some spares in the nine lives I will be coming home to good ole California to spend my living moments with y'all. Life is short guys live in it doing what you want, and find that peace inside so death is no longer a fear. I love you all and follow your dreams!

In dedication to the great pilot Alex and the passenger who lost their lives on Monday February 9th 2009

Crazy stuff girl! That's sad news, but I have to say I'm glad it wasn't you! Did you go bungee jumping? Are you? Miss you so much...you're an inspiration! Love, Kim
ReplyDeleteI sure did do a bungy! I jumped off the world's first bungy on a bridge overlooking glacier water! It was beautiful. I was going to do the Nevas which is a 140 meter jump but decided to downgrade to a 44 meter cuz I chickened out :-P The Nevas will be conquered next time I come back here. Bungy is scary as hell but the adrenaline rush you get afterwards is awesome!! Everyone should at least try it once in their life!
ReplyDeleteYou better stash a note on yourself or in your stuff somewhere that tells people who to call if you get hurt. I didn't think I'd worry and miss you so much :) Love ya girl!--Kim
