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 both were looking forward to this holiday, and it was the only time that we could get off work. 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. Now I had never heard of anything called a “Virtual holiday”, and was a bit dubious. If you can’t move about easily then this is great, the site takes you through all the cities you want. 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. My first thoughts of this were that it was going to be like a trailer for a film, but made for holidays.
It was a lot more fun and informative than i first thought. We did pay for the one that we wanted, but some sites offer this for free. We were going to go to New York, so we paid for one of these virtual holidays. 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.
The following commentary was very good and described a lot of what we wanted. This is going to be a very big piece of software.
We had fun trying this holiday, although it isnt the same as the actual thing, it is not that different, we would like to try the Egypt holidays or Maldives holidays one, where the trips are far too pricey for us to try, maybe Christmas holidays just got a lot less inexpensive?
