First, we'll hover around Holland, and, I'll show you how flat it is. Then I'll show you the windmills, the tulips, old markets, amsterdam, rotterdam (where I live), etc. We'll eat in a pancake house for breakfast. Dutch people normally don't serve it for breakfast, but because it's your birthday, they had the place opened exclusively for us. And to make the experience really Dutch, I prepared the traditional Dutch dresses for us with matching wooden shoes. We had our pictures taken and after we ate, we dressed back to our original clothes. After the pancake breakfast, we're ready to hold on to our balloons again and go to Paris. We'll stop right on top of the Eiffel Tower where I'll have you scream, "it's my birthday!!!!" at the top of your lungs. And we'll both laugh. The view of the city from the top is spectacular so we're quiet for a minute to breathe in the magnificence of it all, after which, we couldn't stop talking about how beautiful it is. We go down to Champs-Elysees and SHOP for your birthday presents for two hours. You name your pick. It's your day so you're allowed to be spoiled rotten. :) We have to summon the rest of the balloons to carry all the shopping bags. Next stop is England. We're expected to be at the Pemberley house in Derbyshire for tea. Since we both like Jane Austen, I have our whole outfit ready. We dress up in traditional english garden dresses with our hair done in curls. We head out to the garden, and much to your surprise, you see H and Mike by the table and they're both wearing something Mr. Darcy would wear. We walk towards them with our parasols and curtsied and they kiss our lace-gloved hands. There are scones and cakes and chocolates and tea. The china tea set is so beautiful that you're thinking of taking it home with you (which you will). We all try to sound English so we talk with British accent which caused riot during tea but that added more to the fun. We eat and laugh and talk and simply have the time of our lives. But tick tock, goes the clock.. we need to move on. We dress back to our clothes again and said goodbye to our Mr. Darcys. We hold on to our balloons and off we go. We float over the meadows and huge estates and head to the capital city. In London, we ride the red bus and have a guided tour. After that, we go to the red phone booth and you call three people you want to talk to for a minute, just to tell them anything you want while I take your pictures. We walk and walk and spot a huge book store. We go in and buy books, a lot of books. We have to have them shipped because the balloons couldn't carry that much load anymore, which is just fine because you'll get them the next day. So we walk outside, ready to fly with our balloons when you spot her. It's Stephenie Meyer in the flesh. She walks to the book store for an exclusive book signing. We head back inside and buy the Twilight series to have them signed. We're the first 10 people there and just our luck, we get the first copies of the Breaking Dawn. We say it's your birthday and she signs the book with a greeting and her name. You are over the moon in delight. So we go outside and our balloons take us away. Since we have been to places, I thought the last stop would be my house. Have a relaxed evening - eat homemade dinner cooked by H & Mike, drink and relive the events of the day together. Happy birthday, Toni! Your gold and my red balloon will take us both to many different places.

Happy 31st in a few more days. Tsk..3 of my ideas were taken already......Hmmnn..i 'd better be inventive now... Anyway, I remember these balloons, they've taken me to great places on my last birthday too. Well, hang on to your gold balloon, while I take the red balloon. Let's glide on to the <a href="http://www.canadianrockies.net/" rel="nofollow">rocky mountains</a> of Banff, Alberta and enjoy the scenic mountains and breathe in the fresh air. As we descend and take in the view (it is breath taking), you notice a field of beautiful golden flowers. And so we decide to land there. And as our feet touch the ground, our balloons turn into your presents. Your balloon into a gold ring and my red balloon into the ruby stone on your new ring. You sigh with awe and kisses the ring which then transport us back home where your surprise party awaits.

We then bring you home from this busy day to the passionate arms of your true love.
