Hello Tom Green,

Joan and I want to thank you again for an extraordinary morning. Your expertise and extra courtesies made the flight more than we could have imagined.

And, it was fascinating. The inflating and assembly of the balloon; the information about wind and weather; the bird's eye view of the world; the sense of floating, not flying; and all staying so close the earth.

Then champagne, mimosas and tasty nibbles - very special and thoughtful.

You have created two balloon enthusiasts.

Continued good luck to Painted Horizons.

Tom and Staff,

We wanted to tell you and your staff what a wonderful morning Nick and I had with Painted Horizons, it was such a great experience! It was fun to assist with preparation and breakdown of the balloons. I was a little nervous (maybe a lot), but Sherry was so informative and made sure I understood everything happening and also what I should expect during flight. After a few minutes in the air, I was able to relax and take in the beautiful scenery! We absolutely had the time of our lives, and it was very romantic! We really appreciated the special accommodations with the food, it was delicious! We also wanted to say thanks to Patrick and Tony!

We actually left and drank two more bottles of champagne reliving the memories over and over again!

Please tell Sherry thank you for everything, she was an outstanding Pilot!

Thanks Again,

Tom,

Thanks for a fantastic experience. Heather and I had an amazing time and have not stopped looking at the pictures since we got home. Believe it or not, we took 150 pictures and they were all really good. I included a few with this email for you to see. Tony’s pictures were amazing too and it looks like we will be getting one of his books. Anyway, we truly enjoyed every aspect of our ride, especially the landing! Everyone you work with is wonderful and we loved the personal feeling we had from the second we showed up until we left. Heather is already saying that she wants to do again so you’ll probably be hearing from us again sometime.

Thanks again and I hope to see you early on a Sunday morning again sometime!

Sherry & Tom -

Enclosed are some of my pictures from the New Smyrna Beach Hot Air Balloon Festival this past week. I haven't stopped talking about it and how it was one of the best experiences I have ever had. I have dreamt of doing this since I was a kid and you made a dream come true. There are about a hundred more pictures, so if you are looking for more, just let me know. Tom - I do have one from Sherry's balloon of your balloon and basket if there are some people from your team interested.

If you are ever looking for new crew....

:)

My girlfriend and I took a flight to celebrate he 50th birthday back in April. I've been wanting to send this picture but somehow never got around to it.

That day we flew over Disney and I took this picture with a fisheye lens. I know you must have a million balloon pictures but thought you might like the different perspective the fisheye gives.

Thanks again for a great time.

Hi Tom,

Here are the pictures that I promised to send you for your website.

Thanks for a great trip!

Cheers,

We just wanted to send out an email and thank you again for the wonderful time. The flight was amazing, the champagne was bubbly and the company was unbeatable. We had a really good time and couldn’t think of a better way to start a Sunday morning. We are now the envy of all of our friends, thanks to you. We are looking forward to our next visit to Orlando. A breakfast at Perkins restaurant may be in order. Thanks and happy flying!

Tom

Thanks again for the great flight. Got better photos than I originally expected. A really fun crew!!

I attached a few photos for you, let me know if you have any problem receiving them, some email systems don’t like large photos. Check out our website at photo1one.com for the balloon photos gallery.

JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THANK YOU FOR A GREAT BALLOON RIDE. GERALD AND I HAD A WONDERFUL TIME. YOUR GROUP WAS REALLY FRIENDLY AND FUN TO BE WITH. ATTACHED ARE THE PICTURES WE TOOK HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM.

THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!

Hi Tom,

I just wanted to drop you a thank you note for the excellent time you provided for Mari and I back in the beginning of August. You see, we had been corresponding for months before then and I finally decided to travel from Wisconsin to Florida so we could finally meet. Of course I had arranged the balloon ride in advance and was happy she decided to go along. The trip was absolutely the best! What you may not have noticed is that I gave her a special ring while we were up there to mark the occasion as memorable for our lifetime together. We have since become serious balloonatics and last weekend I got to volunteer as ground crew help at a local Children's Miracle Network Rally here in Wisconsin. We thought you might know of some balloon rallies or events coming up next year in Florida that we could attend. If so we would be thankful.
