I would, in a heartbeat. How cool would that be? The trip itself, the sights, the stories, the memories, the pictures. The whole thing. Once in a lifetime.

No, I have been on a Balloon ride in Kenya. It was fabulous to see animals from up there but its very cold when you get a little higher .

Most places are much colder than Africa and you would need to fly much higher than a balloon safari.

I liked the ride but would certainly not want to go around the world in one. Give me a plane any day.:) Or a Microlite.

It's like asking me if I like to own a big house with a swimming pool and win a million bucks :)

Yes I would accept, and file a long leave of absence at work!
