Bryan's Hot Air Ballooning Page

If you've ever thought that hot air balloons looked really cool and wondered what it might feel like to actually be in one of them, don't deny yourself the feeling. It is one of the most aesthetically pleasing experiences I have ever had, and I have been up in a balloon many times. If you've ever thought about getting a ride in one of these beautiful balloons, do it. Believe me, you won't regret it. Also, balloon rides make great gifts to just about anyone for any occasion (Birthdays, Anniversaries, Weddings, etc.)
The reason that I know a lot about ballooning is that the balloon that is pictured above is my Dad's, The Bear Ship III. My Dad, Andre, lives in Derry, NH (only about an hour north of Boston) and gives balloon rides all year round. The ride includes a champagne ceremony following the flight and is an experience that you will never forget. If you want to get more information about rides, give my Dad, Andre, a call at (603) 432-6911 or send them an e-mail at bearship3@comcast.net. Be sure to let him know that you saw my web page. (Or you can e-mail me with any questions you might have - web@docandrev.com) Also, he has put a web page together, and you'll definitely enjoy it, it's at: http://www.hotairballoon.org/nh/bearship/
Also, my brother Jason has his own hot air balloon - Infinity ballooning (http://www.infinityballooning.com ). You can reach him by e-mailing InfinityBalloon@aol.com or by calling (603) 321-5562. Let him know you found him via my page.
If you are interested in ballooning and are not near the NH area, then look in your local yellow pages under Balloon-Hot Air-Manned and you should find numbers for local balloonists. They will be glad to give you information about ballooning.
