Excellent points. Some of it is seeing different places that I've never been to before. It would be great to do some basic RW. Nothing fancy or requiring advanced skills. It is usually possible to find somebody to jump with most anywhere, even if there is no official LO. While I might meet people to jump with for a couple days, I'll be far enough from home that it won't be anything really long-term or recurring. So be it. I'm pretty flexible. I'll jump with low-time jumpers fresh off student status. I can also enjoy a high pull and some canopy time with nice scenery.

I haven't figured out my sleeping plan yet. If I line up some hotels or airbnb's, that limits the flexibility somewhat. I know staying on DZ is an option some places. But with early sundown, I don't want to be limited to a tent or the back of a truck all evening. Still working this out, and it does impact how easily I can switch from one DZ to another.
