How do you get where you want to go in a hot air balloon? (Aren’t you at the mercy of the wind).

This has been pretty comprehensively answered, but I’d just add that the free game Aurora Wager is worth giving a shot if you’re interested in hot air balloons, and it demonstrates how they navigate quite well.
