A balloon ride has been on my husband's bucket list for years. Our resort recommended Hot Air Expeditions, and we are glad that they did. Captain Mickey, aka Captain Yee Haaaw, is a terrific and a font of information. The chase crew, Jeremy and Francisco, are the best. I really don't like heights, but I was not bothered at all by the altitude. It is so peaceful and beautiful. Captain Mickey did a touch and go which was exciting. Conditions were perfect, so we had a longer ride then usual. A champagne toast are brunch are waiting when you land. There are tablecloths and cloth napkins on the picnic tables set up in the dessert. The food is served on balloon plates with real silverware. You learn a little bit about the history of ballooning, and Captain Mickey answers all questions. You may want to skip your morning coffee because there are no restrooms on the expedition.

Hello Mary,
It sounds like you had a wonderful time with Captain Hee-Yaw! It's fantastic to hear that our crew were able to make you comfortable, and were able to share their experience and knowledge with you during your flight! You can definitely learn something new on each flight. Isn't breakfast in the desert the perfect end to a smooth ride? You are right about the bathrooms, some people might want to sip in moderation!
Thank you so much for your review, we hope to have you on another flight again soon!
