What fun! You can travel without ever taking your eyes off the computer screen. But I do have to say, there's nothing like actually being there in person to truly appreciate the sense of wonder these places instill.
I hope I'm not being overly picky but you listed 8 wonders! If you look at the official 7 wonders site you'll see that the Pyamid of Giza isn't listed.
Thanks for that! I corrected it. :)
