After getting over the early morning start, the crew was there to promptly greet us and wake us up. Their explanations of what the morning held for us proved to be very helpful. We enjoyed watching their preparations for the launch. It was a bonus to watch other balloons in flight, one that took off next to us and then one that landed nearby. Once aloft it was a tranquil flight over the life going on below, with views of Lake Pleasant and the surrounding mountains in the distance. The flight was interspersed by a very informative commentary from Pilot Randy. The landing was followed by a breakfast that was more then we expected, highlighted by the Ballooners Prayer and award of our flight certificates. We were very impressed by all the staff - Earl's commentary on our van was especially entertaining. We highly recommend this experience to anyone who is considering it.
