Terra Firma...Too Soon!

I can tell you this: taking off in a hot air balloon is a strange, exhilarating feeling. It takes getting used to—about 10 minutes. After that, you don't want to come down.

It's not like ending a sea voyage where it feels good to step on solid ground again. When you climb out of the balloon basket, it feels like your wings have been clipped.

Still you've done it, and you can enjoy the memories (and photos) forever after.

You can bore your friends with superlatives for years, but you know something they don't, and can't know—until they fly for themselves.
