Holidays, via the Internet and one piece of software!
Our holiday was here and we were ready to go, and then my Fiancee came down with some really bad food poisoning, the holiday was now out of the question. Both of us had been really looking forward to going on this 3 week holiday, and it was the only time that we could get off work this year. So there wasn’t anything for us to do, just sitting at home.
We were informed about Virtual holidays by a friend of ours, after we cancelled our “real” holiday. What an earth is a Virtual holiday, i wasn’t at all sure about this. This web-site takes you on a tour around the cities of the planet, and you need not move from your seat. This means that those that are housebound can actually view a holiday through someone else eyes.
I was starting to think, what is this all about, I am not thinking about this at all. I just imagined that you had someone walking around with a hand held camera, with a little bit of odd commentary following.
This was actually a lot more diverse and more intricate than I could imagine. We did pay for the one that we wanted, but some sites offer this for free. We paid for a tour round New York, which is where we were going to go. There were several locations and places for us to visit, it quite clearly showed us where we could go, and where we would be going. We went into this video expecting only a small tour of the city, and we got so much more out of it, exploring museums and seeing all the great sights.
We got everything out of this virtual holiday that we really wanted. This is going to be a very big piece of software.
We had fun trying this “trip”, although it isnt the same as the real thing, it is close, we would like to try the Egypt holidays or Maldives holidays one, where the holidays are far too expensive for us to try, maybe Christmas holidays just got a lot less inexpensive?
