Wasn't what I thought it would be!!!\r
My children gave me a Gift Certificate last March for my 50th birthday. Not sure what they were thinking, because I am scared to death of heights. I knew I had to do this unwillingly I might add. I had talked with Tom a few times on the phone and he always reassured me that he was also afraid of heights, but it would be alright. Well the day came for my husband and I to finally fly. I was NOT looking forward to it at all. We were to meet at 5:30 and I did show up, but wasn't happy about it. I was really hoping Tom wouldn't be there!!! He showed up right at 5:30 with this big wicker basket on the back of his van, I was feeling sick, it was do or die at this point. I was not happy, my husband got out of the car and met everyone, I sat in the car knots in my stomache thinking I am gonna do this but I don't have to be happy about it. Well here comes Tom over to the car, the tears started flowing, I DID NOT want to go up in that dang wicker basket that I was looking at on the back of his van. No way, I must have a death wish. Tom reassured me that I was going to enjoy my ride and that everything was gonna be o.k. I was thinking you fool no it's not I am scared. Well we left from Raleigh and drove to Rolesville where we were gonna go up. He and the crew ( which were very friendly) started getting everything together. Now it's time for me and my husband to get into that wicker basket, that dang basket. Well I put on my big girl pants, I didn't want to disappoint my children, and got in. Knots still in my stomache wanting to just wake up from this bad dream. We lifted off, my eyes were closed didn't want to see my death. LOL. They only stayed closed for about 2 minutes. It was absolutely the best time, It was absolutely beautiful up there. Tom was so nice and reassuring. I wanted to stay up there forever. Want to give Tom a big THANK YOU for a evening that I will never forget!!! Awesome Awesome Awesome.. I would love to go again, maybe one day I will be able to ride above the tree tops. To see things that no one will ever see unless you take a balloon ride. LOVED IT. Marsha C \r
