What a blast this was. From beginning to end this is a first class experience. We were picked up in a van in Cave Creek and taken to our launch spot by Earl. He was very personable and friendly. We helped set up the balloon, which was really cool. When the balloon had enough air in it, we walked into the balloon and were able to take pictures (before we took off). The ride was awesome. Really smooth. Our pilot, Randy, had alot of cool stories about ballooning he shared with us. After landing, the crew set up picnic tables and served us breakfast and champagne. There was also a ceremony to celebrate us landing. Really fun, I would do it again.
