In 2008 I lost my job. I then bought an RV and went on a three year road trip that took me to all of the lower 48 states, to 5 provinces in Canada, and I spent 3 months in the winter in Mexico. I then returned home for my 50th birthday in June 2011. This blog is a record of this amazing road adventure and I hope you enjoy every mile of my trip.

Unfortunately my first event at Balloon Fiesta - tonight's Special Shape Glowdeo - was canceled because of the wind. I did get to see the fireworks tonight though and I am hoping for better luck tomorrow.
I made reservations to camp at the festival months ago, so I am in their RV section. There are tons and tons of rvs here.
The town is not too bad. Everyone is excited about the festival, there are festival signs and merchandise and specials everywhere you go.
The worst part is traffic around event times (in the mornings and again in the evenings) so I am glad to be parked here and that I don't need to move the rv for 3 days.
There's a free shuttle that takes you from the rv section to the field where the balloons are, that runs constantly. It's a nice event and well organized.
you are gonna love the "glows",such beauty. it makes me feel very peaceful.
ReplyDeleteI wish they hadn't canceled tonight's, I was soooo looking forward to it!!
ReplyDeleteI envy you being there. Someday maybe.
ReplyDeleteWhere were you able to camp? Is the town a madhouse?
Happy travels.
