I had no idea what to expect but I had always wanted to ride in a hot air balloon since I was a child! When we got there I was scared about how scared I would be. I'm sure my face showed this. Jeremy was the driver and balloon handler, he quickly eased everyone's tension with his rock star comments and cool demeanor. We loved the balloon set up almost as much as the ride! It was miraculous and mesmerizing! Mike E. was our pilot and I felt very safe with him, there was no messing around he was experienced with excellent knowledge of the history of the southwest. When we took off it was weightless and wonderfully easy. There were twelve in the basket however, there was ample room. My husband and I loved it, it almost felt as though we were not moving at all, it was so beautiful and peaceful! Some things I am grateful for Nancy (receptionist)telling me, really- wear a hat,sunglasses, no tank tops-take the water they offer, you will need it!!!-the sound front the firing was part of it but if you're sensitive wear ear plugs. The heat is just part of it since I'm always hot the morning trip was best for us. Landing was a piece of cake- smooth and easy. Jeremy was there again for us to feel welcomed home. I'm no spring chicken so climbing out of the basket was slightly awkward - I don't recommend seniors (can't get in and out very easily) or young children who are not disciplined- (they rock the basket,scare the crap out at of everyone, not enjoyable-don't take them!). At the end we had a phenomenal breakfast with champagne!! It was very very amazing! I recommend it to everyone even if you are a little scared of heights, this team was really professional and really aware of each persons comfort! Great memory we had a brilliant time!!!
