How to ride in a hot air balloon
It made me
very happy 
"to be floating in the air is simply amazing, dipping the balloon into the water was awesome"
How I did it: i was 11. i befriended another boy whose parents happened to own a balloon. they offered me a ride.
when i lived in Albuquerque i had some unique opportunities with hot air ballooning. "Balloon Fiesta"
i was a part of a couple of balloon chase crews.
i became friends with one balloon owner in particular, which afforded me the chance to be his crew chief at a balloon event in gunnison colorado.
