I was all packed and ready to go on holiday with my fiancée when she came down with a really bad stomach ache, the day before we were going to leave. We had just about saved up enough time on holiday for this vacation, but we didn’t have any more to spare for the rest of the year, so it was really now or never. So there wasn’t anything for us to do, just sitting at home.

As we cancelled our holiday, a friend told us about the Virtual holidays. 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. It’s a great opportunity for those that can’t actually leave the bed, to view these holiday experiences.

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.

It was a lot more fun and informative than i first thought. You don’t have to pay for all of these holidays online, some do actually do it for free as well. 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. This program that we had purchased took us right the way around the city, showing us all of the sights, the picture was so smooth and so was the sound.

The following commentary was very good and described a lot of what we wanted. After trying this, I honestly believe that they could be a big thing, mainly for those that are Disabled.

We had fun trying this vacation, although it isnt the same as the actual thing, it is similar, we would like to try the Egypt holidays or Maldives holidays one, where the journeys are far too expensive for us to try, maybe Christmas holidays just got a lot less inexpensive?
