The admiral's Birthday is in a week or so and I asked what she'd like for her special day. Her reply surprised me, she wants to go on an evening hot air ballon ride!!! At first I thought she was joking because she HATES heights. I mean she won't climb a step ladder more than 2 or 3 steps without getting the trembles. Myself, I don't mind heights at all and used to be a steeple jack in my early years but I'm not so sure about a balloon. Things that fly should have an engine and control surfaces, period! (You know, controlled flight.)
Did any of that matter when I called and booked a flight this moring? Not a bit but I'm hoping neither of us chicken out at the last minute, those rides aren't cheap and as its a fair distance (100 miles) for us to travel to get there and there are no refunds once booked.
I figured I'd take the camera and get as many shots as possible but any suggestions on what else a fella should take along?
