Although, I must admit that as an avid skydiver and surfer, a ride in a plane to earn a pair of wings just doesn't sound thrilling. What does sound thrilling, however, is the notion of space diving. Imagine spacediving from a platform base just outside the atmosphere ensconsced only in your pressurized suit, HALO-style visor reflecting the sunlight from the coming sunrise as you truly step into the void and plummet back to terra firma. Skipping across the sky and coming down safetly under parachute. Now, that's what I call thrilling. 65 kilometers up just isn't enough. Space, as far as I know, is defined at 100 km above the Earth. I'm up for it. Anyone else? I can’t wait for the miles-high price to come down a bit.

What a feat! I like the message: one can fulfill his/her dreams, if one simply pursues them with enough determination. Presently I am working on pulling off a feat which for many probably doesn't seem so daring. I'm in Mexico. I just completed my <a href="http://www.cambridgeesol.org/exams/teaching-awards/celta.html" rel="nofollow">CELTA</a> course and I am looking for work as an English as a Foreign Language teacher...without a university degree! Can I do it? Let's say that there is one more maiden voyage scheduled for September...me in some aircraft back to Mexico or to Thailand or <em>wherever</em> to teach English. Hi Chris,
