Traveling the World from my desktop.

Ok so I have not yet played with Google Earth (shameful, I know!).  But I do love to explore Google Maps, especially with the satellite feature (and I just love maps in general).  I just discovered a new feature--looks like Google Maps has teamed with a product called Panoramio, which pairs gorgeous photos taken by just about anyone, with different points on the map.

It's pretty darn cool, man.  It's just enough information to make me want to visit ALL these cool places.  Well actually, I actually have been to Bagan Archaelogical Zone in Burma.  One of the most beautiful places I've ever seen in my life--1000s of pagodas dotting a plain stretching as far as the eye can see.

panaramio is freaking amazing. love browsing through photos of the world. helps me put together the list of places i really want to go.
you should turn off that computer, pack a suitcase, grab garry and join us somewhere!
hahaa, but are you going to greenland??

No, but we're going to Cairns, New Zealand and around Cape Horn. I think any of these places should be just as cool as Greenland. We tried really hard to fit Antarctica, but it was WAAAAY too expensive. Hmmm.. I wonder if anyone have pictures on Google Maps of Antarctica
yes indeed, they do have pictures of antarctica!
