How to fly in a hot air baloon
It made me
 "Amazing, totally worth doing."
How I did it: Took a trip in a baloon over the river Nile and to the Valley of the Kings in Egypt. The trip was part of a cruise I had book with the parents during our holiday there.

How I did it: It was my brothers birthday, and we had to get up at 5 in the morning, and I was only 7. I was So scared, and i locked myself in the car, and my family literally had to chase me down, and drag me onto the balloon. But once we were in the air, with breakfast, the sun coming up, and flying over the wine country, it was absolutely one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen. Read how I did it…

How I did it: If you ever get the chance to go in a hot air balloon, I say take it! It really is amazing seeing the world from above, and even though it's scary at first, I got used to it and it was incredible. :) I would love to do it again some time! The only bad part was that the balloon landed in a field used for army training and a load of men with guns appeared to see why we were there. xD Read how I did it…

How I did it: I did this on a family trip when I was younger. This was one of the things my mom planned for us to do. I was really antsy about it beforehand because conditions weren't right for about 45 minutes and we almost didn't get to do it.After getting into the basket and into the air, it was a really awkward feeling. But once we got high enough to be stable it ended up being a lot of fun. Read how I did it…

It made me
How I did it: I was a manager in the headquarters hotel for the Albuquerque Balloon Fiesta and finagled a ride during the event. To be honest I was a tad nervous so I had consumed a few early morning (like 5AM) adult beverages to calm my nerves. It was not at all scary as I recall and the main thing I remember about it is how quiet and peaceful it was. The landings can be a little less so. We hit pretty hard and then the wind blew the balloon while dra… Read how I did it…

This seems like a fairly easy goal to achieve. And very cool. I want to do this with my fiancee. Champagne at dawn with my baby while the world slowly floats by below.

Ever since I read this book in elementary school (twice) about a man who makes a hot air balloon home, I wanted so much to fly over somewhere amazing in a hot air balloon… but they can be pretty expensive.

My aunt and her husband lives in England. During one of our rare visits to her, they brought us on a hot air baloon. It was in spring and extremely cold for an Asian like me. I had on 5 layers of clothing while others only came in long sleeves.
The view was fabulous. The ride was breathtaking. The landing was superb for me as we hit a tree on the way down. The basket caught a little of the branch and it was the little action for me.
I enjoyed it very much but as I can remember as it happened 14 years ago, Uncle Nick had the total freak on the whole ride. I was lucky to both have received the chance to be on one and being able to thoroughly enjoy it.
