A Day At The Hot Air Balloon

February 19, 2009 · Filed Under Adventures, All Entries 

Last Valentine’s Day we traveled to Clark for the 14th Hot Air Balloon Festival. With only an hour of sleep, we hit the road at 2AM and arrived around 4:45AM. We originally planned to stay until the balloons’ fly-in but the circumstance didn’t permit as one child who were with us got sick. So we head back to Manila at 4PM.

It was a long and tiring day. Sad to say, the venue was not that convenient for anyone who plans of staying throughout the day to see the activities unless you come very well equipped (i.e. you brought your own chair, shade, and washroom with water). Otherwise, spend the rest of the afternoon in SM Clark. Even Kellogg’s tiger was feeling uncomfortable…

If we had to do this all over again next year, we plan to go to Clark after lunch in time for the fly-in, check-in for an overnight stay in a hotel, see the balloon flight the next morning and be back in Manila by lunch time. That would make the whole experience, 100% fun-filled!

    Did you travel this far for the photoshooting or the balloon thing? If the latter was the case, I’d be bum when I only had 1hr of sleep. If that’s for charity, then go go go Ron!
