Why yes we would. The flight was fantastic and well worth another early morning start. Bob helped with the balloon set up and take down so he felt part of the crew. The balloon company and our pilot were wonderful. Another thing off the bucket list. It was lots of fun and we went up with five other people. I should have made a collage oh well. We also visited the Boca Negra Canyon and climbed the volcanic cliffs of the West Mesa escarpment looking at all the petroglyphs drawing. Ending our day with an early mexican dinner and a last minute trip to Sandia Crest to ride the tram up the mountain. Unfortunately lots of people had the same idea and by the time we would have gotten up the mountain on the tram it would have been dark. We ended up climbing part way up and I got some sunset and city night light pictures. We hope to try again another day. time flies when you're having fun . Goodnight by friends....
Wow what a thrill! My wife wants to go on a balloon ride, but its hard to find someone who has a balloon that is will to take you on a ride. Insurance I suppose!
@skipt07 funny thing when we went they said we would be charged after the flight (they had your credit card info. from when we booked months ago). I turned and said to Bob and the group " Good thing to know we won't be charged if we don't make it back. lol
@taffy I'm practically leaning out of the basket to get camera to focus on the pilots back. I think the shot would have been better if I could have gotten a little of the basket and his whole hand but who takes a wide angle lens on a balloon ride?
Beautiful.....so glad you went up!! I hope this was your first balloon ride.....what a thrill this must have been!! We have signed up for one on our African safari this November, and I am so looking forward to it....I think I might bring every single lens and camera I have on it!!
@panthora it's so hard to choose what to take. My carry on bag held all my camera gear except tripod . My carry on bag included another camera and a len that wouldn't fit in the bag. Plus I had a point n shoot . LOL. I used everything I took. Good Luck deciding what to take. Africa WOW ! can't wait to see your pictures:-)
