Up Up and Away!

Most likely when you read this we will be just lifting off the ground. Today we are scheduled to rise 2,100 above the landscape and experience what early flight was like.

Since we have to be at the site by 5:45 am I am writing this on Wednesday night. Once we arrive at the site we are going to help them assemble the balloon and inflate it as well. We will be flying for about an hour to an hour and a half. It all depends on the weather. Once we land, safely we hope, the fun task of rolling up this ball of hot air to fit back into the chase vehicles. It will be followed by a champagne breakfast to celebrate our safe journey.

I hope to have tons of pictures and some good stories to share.
