I'm going on a hot air balloon ride with my wife tomorrow morning. I have no clue what to expect, but I was hoping some of you might have done it before and could clue me in. Is it dangerous? What do I wear? Can I get air sick? Can I give the pilot a c-note to turn his back and experience another romantic venue with my wife?

Mile High Club - would be worth a C-Note for you, right?

Dress warm bubba... I believe Small Craft Adviseries applies to a H.A.B. too...

I went twice so far . Its not dangerous or scary at all . help them set up the balloon . you will enjoy it . on landing they will give you the instrctions the pilot need you to follow . Man I want to go again .
Bring a camera and plenty of film .
As far as the mile high club . its over rated !

Ive also been on a couple gliders too .

About 10 years ago I had the Re-Max balloon land in my yard.
I think it was pilot error:rolleyes:
A truck with a crew came, pumped it up and off it went:D

Jimbo I went about 15 years ago. Your in for a good time.The balloon i went on held seven people, might be a little busy for the mile high club.
