Not everyone gets to travel to anywhere inthe world they wanted to at anytime. Even when retired you have obligations andother issue that prevent you at times from realizing your heart’s desire.  Reading travel books is one way to partiallysatisfy this urge. But there are so many such books for so many places. Howdoes one find the time and places? Here is one suggestion for arm chairtravelers. CondeNast Travel magazine is one of the best magazine of this kind in theworld. On their website http://www.cntraveler.com/  you can finda series of photo articles about “The xxx best or most beautiful yyy inthe world” where xxx may be “25” and yyy stands for “college campuses or hotelsor beaches, etc.” Each articles takes just a few minutes to watch. When youcannot go there physically, this may be the next best selection.
