It is a memory to be cherished. We got up at 4:00 am since we had to travel about 1 1/2 hours to get to the launch site. We didn't have the champagne poured over our heads though. We DRANK IT!!! About 9:00 am in the morning and we were drinking champagne. :eek: The wind was blowing so gently that we didn't even have any rocking. It was so peaceful, serene and beautiful!!! :DQuote:

We had to get up REAL early in the morning and just hope we could "jump on." What I remember most clearly (other than the champagne they pour over your head as a first timer!) is the smell of the earth and the sensation of being as one with the wind. You put it so well -- "not being diconnected." For me there was not a sense of movement because you are "in the wind."
