Virtual Getaways

With the current global pandemic that is going on a lot of people's vacations have been cancelled. I know one couple that was going on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Iceland. Cancelled! A family I know was going to Walt Disney World. Also cancelled! So what are people to do to get away from it all? The answer is to stay at home and go on a virtual getaway. Here are a few that I found:

Museums

• J. Paul Getty Museum in Los Angeles, California
• National Gallery in London, England
• Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, Italy
• Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C.
• Vincent van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, Netherlands

Theme Parks

• Legoland Resort in Winter Haven, Florida
• SeaWorld Orlando
• Walt Disney World

Zoos

• Houston Zoo
• San Diego Zoo

Aquariums

• Georgia Aquarium
• Monterey Bay Aquarium

National Parks

• Bryce Canyon National Park, Utah
• Carlsbad Caverns National Park, New Mexico
• Dry Tortugas National Park, Florida
• Kenai Fjords National Park, Alaska
• Yosemite National Park, California

World Landmarks

• Great Wall of China
• Machu Picchu, Andes Mountains, Peru

Opera

• If opera is your getaway, then you have to check out the Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.  They are offering nightly encore performances of some of their most iconic shows. The free streams go live at 7:30 p.m. each evening and are available for 20 hours.
