How about just looking at the sites of the places you yearn to be. I know it's not quite the same, but it makes the brain happy. Here are 2 sites I discovered in "Womans World Magazine. This one http://www.uswebcameras.com/ lets you view from cameras from all over the US including Karoake bars . This one, lets you view from cameras all over the world http://www.earthcam.com/
Don't forget to write!
So what did you think? I know its not entirely the same, but for some of us it might be as close as we get

Dizz those were a riot.... got them bookmarked... LMAO I want to see the karaoke bar in Florida later this evening live.. Will send you a post card, hope they make a good margarita! [Angelwhispers]
OMG... I am waiting til 6 to watch that one also LMAO If I would have known earlier today, I would have just driven there (only about 1- 1 1/2 hours from me) Oh well. I am glad you enjoyed them. I will be watching it with you :) [dizzblnd]
sometimes i like to do what I think of as a virtual vacation and go to sites about the places i want to go and i also like to go to youtube.com and find videos of them. for example you can find a lot of theme park videos from all over the world with different on ride videos and things like that. A lot of times i like to check out all of the disney parks in the world that i will never get to and things like that. [thepipes]
ohhhhhhhhhhhh I never thought about youtube! Taht is a great idea too. I will have to check that out [dizzblnd]
Travelling is becoming more and more expensive these days with the gas prices rising everywhere. Airlines are also raising the fares which makes things hard for holiday makers. Driving own car is also becoming costly for the same reason. I guess I just have to watch the movies online , and enjoy homemade dinners ! Ha ha ! Have a nice time ! [greenline]
Gas.. food. everything is just more expensive. It is a shame. But these on-line sites are quite beautiful to look at [dizzblnd]
I'll be at the Kareoke bar at 6pm this ought to prove very interesting!! Thank you for these sites..Very good way to enjoy oneself..Lori [dumblnddzzy]
I am glad you enjoyed them. Someone is singing fill me up buttercup.. I wish they'd show more.. Oh well [dizzblnd]
That's a wonderful idea, thanks for the links! [dragon54u]
you are very welcome. I am glad I could help feed your brain [dizzblnd]
Awesome sites! Thanks for that info... [skinnychick]
you are very welcome. Enjoy! [dizzblnd]
Those are nice. But what I like to do is go to the library and check out any video's about other countries. I put it on and away I go while sitting in my recliner. It is a nice way to relax. I have bookmarked the two links you have posted here. [sunshinelady]
That is a great idea too, and much more informative I am sure PS.. check your friends file wink [dizzblnd]
I loved Earthcam Dizz. I wonder if anyone has ever seen someone that they know on one of those cams. I shall have to see what I can do with the other one. Of course, if you see pics of people that you don't like the look of, that might stop you from going there. That's one of my problems with Florida. I have this image that it is full of Brits. Mostly the sort that I wouldn't want to know here. Of course that's a generalisation. But if I have to hear one more story about "Wayne being sick after eating too much: ice cream/popcorn/soda at Magic Kingdom" I shall go mad. I go away to be as far from my football shirt, shaven headed, bling attired countrymen as I can get. To see just one on a webcam would put me off for life. LOL. [p1kef1sh]
You are quite welcome. How wonderful to be able to see one of pur friends from across the world. I am glad I could help wink [dizzblnd]
Thanks for the links that you posted here. But I still prefer to dream in my head that one day I'll able to visit that place for vacation. That will encourage me to work hard and save money for vacations! [lieanat]
Keep dreaming then .. hopefully those sites will help you include the visuals in your dreams to help you with your goal [dizzblnd]
The site is perfect!!And i thought that we should travel by ourself!!It`s also great!! [murray1986]
Welcom to Mylot! I am sure you will enjoy your time here. I am glad you enjoyed the websites [dizzblnd]
Hi. There is an organazation, WWOOF. U voluntier your time for (work for 4 hours per day) on a organic farm(Willing Workers on Organic Farms). All you have to pay for is the transportation. Take the train or bus. The people are always nice, they will pick you up from the nearest town. U do not pay for the room, get meals and maybe a little cash in your pocket. I was a WWOOFER in Europe. France, Holland, and Belgium. There are many , many farms in the US that use this org. All over the world... If you would like to just get away for a while, there might even be one close to you... Thanks. Hope that helps a little.... [ecofriendly]
Thank you and welcome to Mylot. I hope you enjoy yourself here. I have never heard of this organization. It sounds like a great opportunity to see the world. I will look into it Thanks again [dizzblnd]
This is a neat idea! I have enjoyed some really great web cams over the years so I'll need to check these out, too. Some of them are extra fun and others can be boring. I just bookmark those that change often and are fun. happy I haven't seen any karoke bar cams yet, so that's where I'll be heading first. [katiedoubleu]
I am happy I could add 2 more sites for you to enjoy. They are lots of fun! [dizzblnd]
Wow that site is amazing. I am waiting for it to be done for me to view something. But base on the distance, I think I still have to wait for sometime. Oh I got it. NYC seems to be not in a good weather today~~Well, though it's not the same, it's still a pleasure to view all those cities when I am at dorm. [chrissieatu]
With the price of gas, this is as close as a lot of us may get. Just weekend day trips will be out of reach quite often now. My neighbor has a bigger car and is spending $700 a month on gasoline with his commuting. He is going to trade it in, and thinks he won't get as good a trade on it now. Since when is gas more an a car payment? I bookmarked these sites. I love to look around. [whittby]
