It's like someone with a half-empty bottle of vodka and a thesaurus.

I don't think we are quite there yet and experiencing the culture and sights is always better in real life. That said, with the advent of VR, I don't think taking a "VR vacation" is too far way! Again, will never be able to be actual trip but a VR trip might be pretty cool!

Google Satellite is fun to explore in one's downtime. I'm sure VR trips will become a thing for when you have no trip in sight. However, experiencing something in real life is much more enjoyable.

Of course those that hate travel (there are some out there lol) will like VR - no hassle of transportation to your vacation destination etc.

Already reaching significant top relevant zenith in 2003 To 2019+. Absolute climax of Global digital information age exact society revolution. On the bright side of events. Away from signs of collapse or vulnerable threatening. Websites are valuable practical treasures to supporting these moves.

Ironically, months after I went to Stockholm Sweden, I ended up seeing the best ever on Google Satellite imaging with Gamla Stan front side of canals islands.
