As they say, there's a first time for everything. And this was my first hot-air balloon ride. All I have ever heard from anyone who has taken one is that even if you're afraid of heights, this is an easy peasy ride. No fear.
And it held true. There may be anticipation nervousness, but the ride is so gentle, so calm, there was no fear whatsoever. In fact, it was a first for the small group of six of us who went. And we all said the same thing: "I didn't even know when we were off the ground."
Our ride took place in Maricopa County, roughly on the area between Lake Pleasant and Sun City. Our main landmark was the White Tank Mountains, the north side.
It was a professional crew, an outstanding pilot and a delicious after-ride breakfast.
Would I do it again? Oh, yeah!!
