This was a present from Mark (with help from coz Nicole!) This was super fun. I absolutely loved going up for the sunrise, but what most surprised me was how quiet it was. The balloon just floats in the air, with very minimal wind noise but amazing views. We started in the parking lot of Fleetway Bowling in London, ON and ended up in about an hour in a field in St. Mary's!

As you get close to landing, there is a van that is following the balloon on the ground. They find a local farm and ask the family if they can land the balloon in the field. (They bring the family a bottle of champagne as a thank you). Landing was the only somewhat strange part, as you land on the side of the box, so you have to hold onto handles as you land. Once the balloon is packed up, you cap off the successful trip with a mimosa. Great experience!
