I was planning on taking the AFF course this summer but the family is
planning a holiday in the US (probably in New York).  I just wanted to
ask if it's a good idea to take the skydiving course during my holiday.
 If I take the course in the US I guess I would have to complete as
quickly as possible (5-7 days is ideal) as I would want to go elsewhere
in America!

I've had a good look through the newsgroup and have noticed issues with
regards to:
-The number of jumps in busy US DZs per day
-Quality of training (too many students, not enough instructors etc.)
-Problems with getting the BPA licence without going through the BPA
AFF.

Basically I'm asking if it's worth the effort to become a skydiver as
quickly as possible during a two week holiday in the US.  I'm based in
London so I would also look for recommendations on the 'nearest' DZ
that is friendly to US trained jumpers.

Of course, if my idea is stupid then say so.  It was just a thought
that came to my head and I thought it would be fun.
