Sit back and relax and you will start your vacation, what a thought? Take a vacation without leaving your home. This may be low-cost but really you are riping yourself off of life experience. Nothing will ever compare to the experience of actually travelling to the place and seeing it with your own eyes.
Travel has become very commercial, go see the London Bridge in Arizona. Visit a movie see it's better than the real thing. The Parthenon in Nashville, exactly the same except you don't have the dramatic climb to the top. These places may look the same, but they are artificial. True you might not know the difference but your riping yourself off.
The travel to get there is just as important as the destination in some cases. Air travel has become convenient but it does take something way from the experience. My grandmother goes on a piligramage every year and the trip there is just as important in the experience. You would miss out on all the great stops that have to be made on the way there. Somethins are better taken slowly then rushed through.
When was the last time anyone really had a vacation without all the commercial aspects. Lets look to the past before we take our next vacation. Drive there if you can? Stop whenever you think there is something to experience and take the picture if you have to but only after the experience.
