8/28/07 Tue - Canceled: Sunrise Flight
Weather: Partly Cloudy, Wind: 6 miles/h, Sunrise: 6:14 AM
I decided to check the flight info and weather everyday so I can make a reservation when I find they'll fly. I took another day off from work on 9/17, but hopefully we can fly before that.

8/27/07 Mon - OUR FLIGHT was Canceled: Sunset Flight
Weather: Fair, Wind: 5 miles/h, Sunset: 7:36 PM
Oh... Very disappointed. But nothing can be done if the weather is not suitable for a balloon ride.
I had to tell Eric what my secret plan was.
He was disappointed, but was also understanding that it was not something I could control.
Instead of a balloon ride, we picked up a bottle of wine and cheese and went to Botanic Garden for a picnic dinner. It was a beautiful evening, and we enjoyed listening to the cheesy bell tower concert they were having there, and joking about it.

8/17/07 - Mia buys 2 Hot Air Balloon tickets for $350
I wanted to get something very special for Eric's birthday because we went through a lot this year.
I knew he wanted an iPod, but I wanted to give him a memorable experience rather than a product this time.
After examining different hot air balloon company web sites, I called A Great American Balloon company to book a flight.
There was a little odd moment when I called their customer service. When I told the man who answered the phone that I wanted to make a reservation for two, he automatically assumed that I already had a ticket number. When I told him that I hadn't purchased tickets yet and would like to do so over the phone, he slightly sounded unexpected, but very nicely took my order.
$350 was withdrawn from my bank account under the name of "CLOUD 9 BALLOON PORT FOX".
It is rather large amount, but I was happy to do so for Eric's birthday gift he'd never forget.
