Unfortunately, a lack of time and money usually puts a dampener on our global vacation plans, leaving us to see only a fraction of this planet.

Click on any of the black dots on the map below denoting a location that you can view. The place's name will appear. When you click on it, a new browser window will open.

On the upper left side, you will be able to go to 'full screen' (highly recommended!) as well as 'hide' all the toolbars.
