Arm Chair Travel or Morsels to Whet Your Travel Appetite

The world is getting smaller with technology enabling us to link to each other around the world close to instantaneously.  We can chat to people around the globe, see them as they live their daily lives and be impressed with the similiarities and differences among people. For some of us this translates into a deep curiousity and need to experience different worlds while we imagine ourselves “being there” or actually physically going and experiencing something other than what we understand.  Spring is typically a time where people start to travel for a variety of reasons. Perhaps to be with family around holidays, to explore college campuses, or to seek out the wonderful heat of other climes.
