Would you be brave enough (or stupid enough) to try this?

I sure as hell wouldn't! :wow:

1. Well, it does look more comfortable than my last flight.

And cheaper, too.

[EstimatedProphet]

2. HELL YES!

3. I might try it. I really do want to go up in a gondola.

12. There's a place down here that does hot air balloon rides.

We went for our anniversary last year. It was FUN! I'd love to go again! :bounce:

Here we are:

14. Maybe I can take a very special old friend up up and away.

a very memorable reunion and a lifetime wish fulfillment for me

[AirmensMom]

15. I PMed you.

It's an experience I'll never forget. :loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

17. I'll call about a reservation.

Maybe on we can make it Sunday before I head back home.
If not this time, then on my next trip down for sure!

Thanks :loveya:

20. If you want to go alone,

it costs more. They use a smaller basket. We did that. Otherwise, I think you go with another couple. Be sure and take your camera! You get to help get it all set up and put away. Then they serve you a champagne breakfast, with fruit and cheese, which is fun. And they print some pictures for you (the chasers take the pics from the ground). It's a great time.

You're welcome. I hope you can do it! :bounce:

4. Sign me up too! This looks awe-inspiring

and a heck of a lot safer than ultralites.

[Dangerously Amused]

5. HELL yeah!

[Arkansas Granny]

6. I think that would be a hoot! I'd love to try it.

[skygazer]

7. I think it looks wonderful

Imagine how quiet it must be up there! Wow. Yeah, I'd try it in a heartbeat.

[Jazz2006]

8. I would!

Sort of like parasailing... but without the boat ~ hee hee.

[graywarrior]

9. More like clusterfucks if my friends did this.

[khashka]

10. Almost certainly

But then I'm an idiot.....

For example, I'm trying to figure out how to hammer nails into my skull through my nostrils. (It's doable, I've seen it done and it's deadly sexy.)

So I sneer in the face of balloons! They hold no fear for me!

Khash.

11. We owe it all to Lawn Chair Larry; God rest his wacky pioneer soul.

This was in 1982:

[Deja Q]

18. Why oh why did they use the adjective "swell"?

:wow:

[BikeWriter]
