It is no colder in the balloon than on the ground, so a light jacket is usually enough. Some people wear a hat for the radiant heat and foam ear plugs to reduce the burner noise. Hot air balloons are unique from all other forms of flight because there is no physical sensation of movement or perception of wind. You are traveling with the gentle air currents that layer the sky. In contrast to standing on a building or structure, there is no fear of height, because your eyes have no linear perspective to judge distance from the ground. Balloons usually travel at heights of 500 to 1500 feet, similar to the surrounding hill tops. You are often welcome to participate 'hands on' with the set-up, inflation, and deflation of your hot air balloon, so it's a good idea to bring a set of gloves. Visit Wine Country Balloons for more information. Scott van der Horst ID2088 - You don't need to tow a caravan, or even own one, to enjoy a caravan holiday. Many places have selections of static or pre-placed caravans that you can rent for your holiday. Visit sites like Brixham Holiday Park for more information. Alex ID2171 - As a way of saving money on this year's holiday, consider a 'home swap'. With home swapping, you swap homes with someone else for an agreed period of time, and spend a holiday in their home while they holiday in yours. No money changes hands, and home swaps can be in the same country or anywhere in the world. Get more vacation tips and information about holidays in Britain at British-Holiday.info. Paula Garrett ID2135 - For a richer, more memorable travel experience, try to immerse yourself in the local culture. Break away from the tour group and talk one-on-one with the locals. Take local transportation (ask your hotel staff about after-dark safety), shop grocery stores (a great source for inexpensive souvenirs), pharmacies (look for scented soaps, lotions) and especially the outdoor markets. Befriend your hotel staff, learn their names, and seek from them information on what the locals do for entertainment. Anonymous ID1250 - The air in the hotel room can be very dry, especially during the winter season in European countries (from my experience). Therefore, wet a few towels and place them on the bedside table next to where you are sleeping to increase the moisture in the air.
