As a RE/MAx agent in Las Vegas we have the opportunity to go up in the RE/MAX balloon.. Weather permitting of course.  I am extremely scared of heights and seriously can’t get any higher than the first few steps on the ladder.  But I got brave one day and decided why not?  Why not get up there and see what it’s like.  So I did.  As part of going up in the balloon you need to be part of the set up and take down part.  So you show up early, usually right as the sun is starting to rise.  The pilot of the balloon instructs you on how and what to do, he then does this thing to fill the balloon up and pretty much after that you get in the basket and go. 

It is so amazing how quite it is when you’re up in the air so high.  It’s so peaceful.  You don’t hear traffic, looking down was a little frightening and if someone in the basket moved an inch I about lost my mind.  But besides that it is so very wonderful. 

If you ever get a chance to go up in a hot air balloon… DO it.  it’s amazing.  The view of the Las Vegas strip and the whole valley was wonderful.
