Click to play Balloon Fiesta - 10/08

Our pictures do not do the Balloon Fiesta and Roadtrek Rally justice.

Click on the Title - it is a link that will take you directly to the Fiesta site for detailed information.

It is next to impossible to share the experience of over 600 balloons launching, landing and glowing unless you were there. We share these pictures to help jar our memories in the future and to give you a small sample of how incredible it was.

We had a great time meeting friends from previous rallies and making new friends at this one. The Rally masters, Jim and Sharen Koch, Walt and Jo Dene Ratcliff and Wendell Nunes, did an outstanding job coordinating, making all feel welcome and sharing their knowledge and experience. Much aloha for all your time and effort.

We, along with half a dozen others, were fortunate to be able to stay for the rest of the week after the rally. The weather gods were with us for all of the week except Saturday and Sunday. What a thrill we had to wake up and either see the balloons landing or launching, depending on the winds. right out side of our RT. Talk about making memories - we will be talking about this Rally and experience for a long time to come.
