I finally got to see it, and spent about an hour and a half taking photos and videos. I wasn't expecting the basket to move so much, I might need to take something before flying.

Looks a bit more "turbulent" than I would prefer, though still worth a shot at some point. Thanks, Denise.

WHEW!!! I think I'll watch a few times before - and if - I fly!!!

(Maybe if I watch from the margarita bar next to Capt'n Jacks it will help me get over my fear of flying on that thing...)

Oh I so want to do this next week. I hope it works out wind-wise.

Really looking forward to seeing some pics from the basket in flight -- curious about how much one can see from it. Thanks, Denise -- you've whetted our appetite.

I'm quite excited to give this a try.
DD9 and I will be giving it a whirl
during our Mother/Daughter trip in May
as long as the weather cooperates.

It looked a little turbulent to me too.

The pilot said it didn't feel bad though, so we'll see! I think the view will be wonderful from there - considering you can see the balloon from so many places.
