Anyone ever take a Google Maps virtual vacation?

Out of some other research and a little boredom I started looking at Google Maps the other day. It is completely amazing that I can go to a famous place and when they have the "street view" feature loaded, I can drive down the road, sometimes chase a car, stop anywhere I want, look all around about 30 feet from people's houses, fly straight up to see where I am, land again, drive farther down the road, search to find a local hotel, or vineyard or famous place or restaurant and see just what it's like, take a big old picture of it and keep traveling. Very cool. It's like being a spy or looking in somebody's medicine cabinet. Just tonight, I saw the Pyramids in Egypt, Dubai, Chateau Y'Quem, Monoco, the Isle of Mann, Bath, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, Iceland, Denmark. You can go back to places you've been. (Sure, you can see your own house, but big deal.) It's just unbelievable. ![Icon Playing](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_playing.gif)

I have been many places. I have been through the Panama canal and took a trip around Niagara Falls. I have even taken a trip around my neighborhood when it was to cold to go outside. ![Icon Goofygrin](https://cbrforum.com/forum/images/smilies/icon_goofygrin.gif)
I also like Vritual Globetrottingbecause of the bird's eye view. You can spin around things like you are in an airplane.
