Don’t let the winter blues get you down

Are you suffering from winter blues? There’s only one cure for that a dose of paradise. What flavor would you like exotic beaches, warm turquoise waters, lush tropical jungles or mystic ancient ruins? If you can’t plan a dream vacation today, you can at least enjoy a virtual getaway to paradise via QuickTime VRs. Start your journey in the Pacific islands of Tahiti, Bora Bora and Fiji.
Wind your way over to the gorgeous French Riviera to bask in the sun on a yacht. Then cruise over to Italy to see the Coliseum in Rome and the leaning tower of Pisa.
All that ancient history in Italy will put you in the mood for the great pyramids of Egypt. And if you like those pyramids, don't miss the mystic Mayan ruins of Tikal, Guatemala. While you're in Central America, visit the Costa Rican rain forests and a volcano.
Want to see it all in one place? Well, in Las Vegas you can find beaches, jungles, gondolas, a pyramid, a volcano, the Colosseum, the Eiffel Tower, Elvis and much more. Doctor's final orders: Chase that winter blues cure with a tourist-style fruity drink sporting a paper-umbrella. No travellers checques required only QuickTime.

Bora Bora is *definitely* my favourite! :-)
If you have a chance, visit the French Riviera: one of my friends owns an apartment in Nice and we’ve been on vacation there a couple of times, the weather is warm and the food is extraordinary!

Great pictures. It was snowing during lunch, so it’s nice to see these.
As an aside, I was trying to find a way to contact you directly, so I wouldn’t have to post a question here in a non-related CSS post, and couldn’t find a way?
Just need some pointers :)

@Michelle, I’ve been to Port-Gimaud and to Saint-Tropez when I was a kid. We went to the Côte d’Azur every year with our parents for 3 weeks during the Summer holiday. We stayed on a very nice camping at a small place called Bormes-les-Mimosas. These were gorgeous times and we often made some trips to places nearby at the coast. Port-Grimaud was one of them and I remember it just like on those QuickTime VR scenes, very nice.

I also used to go to Port-Grimaud with my parents when I was a kid. We went there each year. Actually I went there again on my honeymoon. We actually stayed in Antibes and we drove down the coast and visited all the places I once went as a kid.
I am also a big NY fan. Went there last year to my pal his wedding. Kinda cool to see those pictures! Very cool!
