virtual sightseeing with google maps

Why pay for airfare and get hassled by homeland security rent-a-cops? How about long lines in the queue on a hot summer afternoon with a group of Frenchmen? Ever smell the breath of a German just after a big beer-n-schnitzel? Screaming kids? Outrageous prices at all the attractions? All pleasant memories, I'm sure.

Enter Google maps. What with the satellite imagery and the purdy pictures and search you favorite locales and all, you might just never ever really have to go see the real thing.

But if you are lazy like me, you realize that its tedious to search for sights when others must have already put forth the time and effort to do so. In that case, check out Google Sightseeing and you neve have to get out of the house.
