Buddy Bombard's Europe launches new web site featuring spectacular video footage
from Buddy's low level excursions by balloon

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

April 11th, 2006. (West Palm Beach, FL)-Buddy Bombard's Europe recently launched its new interactive web site at www.buddybombard.com. This new web site allows virtual access to any of Buddy Bombard's European vacations. The site captures 'live' daily sightseeing adventures on Bombard's low-level balloon flights, as well as the rich cultural and connoisseur experiences that accompany each Bombard trip.

According to Ginny Gray, vice-president of operations, "We have completely renewed our web site so that everyone has the ability to experience a Buddy Bombard trip from their own computer. Now those considering a trip with us can really see what they might experience, as the video is actual footage from our trips throughout the years. People really can't believe that our experiences are real-but they are, and have been for 30 years!"

Along with magnificent aerial displays from Buddy Bombard's balloons and focal points of the land program on each of Bombard's itineraries, the new user-friendly and interactive site offers:

• A montage of streaming videos for viewers to experience and understand first hand the magic of a Bombard vacation. This means a viewer can actually experience an authentic balloon excursion on any of Buddy Bombard's destinations;

The 52-day trip can also be segmented into a single regular departure of 5 to 10 days, or any number of trip combinations from 12 days and up;
• The ability to view the new interactive brochure, send an e-postcard, request a brochure/DVD, and receive the monthly Buddy Bombard's Europe e-newsletter;
