50 New Things
This year I'm going to try to do at least 50 things I've never done before (I did not come up with this idea...but they say imitation is the highest form of flattery ;-). If you have ideas, feel free to make suggestions. I'll document them on the list below, with links if possible.
36. Played craps and roulette for the first time at a casino.
35. Visited the world's largest bead store (Shipwreck Beads).
34. Drove over a floating bridge
33. Flew in a helicopter!!
32. Visited Mount St. Helen's - wanted to see this for the past 30 yrs
50 FIRSTS #9: Sunrise Balloon Ride Over the Nile's West Bank
This was not on the archaeology tour plan for Luxor, but when we checked into our hotel, we noticed a sunrise hot air balloon trip over the Valley of the Kings available for the next morning at an amazingly inexpensive price. Too good to pass up. Definitely one for the "firsts" list. Very cool. It included breakfast on the Nile, then about an hour long flight. Here are a few shots:

WOW!! This looks like an amazing "first". The photographs are so beautiful. It is good to be you.
It really was pretty cool. Actually worth getting up at 4:30 am to do ;-) It was kind of a disconnect to realize that spread out below us was the Valley of the Kings, Valley of the Queens, etc. Surrealistic for sure.
