A hot air balloon ride has always been on my bucket list. It was one of those adventures at the back of my mind, something I would do someday, somewhere at the bottom of my list. Something I always wanted to do but for many reasons, never actually did.
It's too expensive... there isn't a lot of it here... I am terrified of heights.... and on and on. When I had to chance to visit Arizona, and one of the activity selections was "hot air ballooning" I couldn't believe my luck. Heck, I even passed up on whitewater rafting to wake up at 4:45 am and meet a bunch of strangers in a field somewhere in Arizona. A Sonoran sunrise as seen from a hot air balloon - I finally had my opportunity to cross another item off the bucket list and step inside the basket of a hot air balloon.
