We were vacationing in San Diego and had always wanted to go on a balloon trip, so after reading the positive reviews on Tripadvisor, booked with California Dreamin. Unfortunately, I forgot to call in on the mandatory call in the day before (too busy at the zoo), but they called me and we confirmed. We met at 6:15 and drove to the launch spot. There were 3 other couples plus the pilot. It was a bit windy, but the pilot waited until the wind had died down enough for us to launch. We took off and the view was spectacular! We could see the vinyards, the mountains and even the ocean off in the distance. There was also another ballon, so that was fun. We floated around for about an hour then landed and over champange, received a tour of a local winery. We then went back for our continental breakfast which was wonderful. I would recommend California Dreamin' for a wonderful experience.
