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$350 was withdrawn from my bank account under the name of "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.
