For years now, we've wanted to go in a hot air ballon but the missus has always been fearful of heights. But to our surprise, the ride was smooth sailing. Before you know it, you are in the air floating, amazed by the early morning views. The pilot has been making dreams come through and filling bucket list for the last 40 years. He pointed out notable sites, communicating with ground crew, and staying clear from other balloons. It was a fun experience. The California Dreamin company are a great group of people. Continental breakfast was light, but awesome. Tricky to find the meeting location especially early morning. Overall, it was worth the experience.
