Virtual Cruise from Europe to California
In recent years, I’ve visited several parts of North America, by car or cruises. Each trip has been filled with beautiful memories and I’ve collected countless pictures, videos, and notes that are now “sleeping” on my computer or still in my head. Though busy schedules often keep us from creative projects between vacations, the pandemic has given me a chance to return to these ideas and embark on a virtual journey to revive those memories.
I saw an opportunity to revive these memories together mixed with new coming up impressions and embark on a unique virtual journey. Here, I’d like to take you on a reimagined cruise through these places— from places of tranquility to bustling cities -—an exploration blending my real travels with new discoveries.
Plan:
- Crossing the Atlantic Ocean – the first days on a cruise ship.
- New York City – Arrival and Reflections
- A Virtual Tour of Princeton University
- Shore excursion to the Midwest Area – Agricultural machinery
- Halloween in New York, Then Back to Sea
- Boston
- Islands in the Atlantic: Bermuda and Bahamas.
- Cartagena, Colombia
- Miami
- Panama Canal – Artificial shipping routes.
- Pacific coast with Puerto Rico and Mexico
- Hollywood and the movie industry.
- San Fransico Bay Area. Silicon Valley. High tech industry.
Background: This virtual tour is based on 2 real cruises (Southampton-Fort Lauderdale with the cruise ship Celebrity Silhouette in 2019 and Miami – Los Angeles with Norwegian Star in 2013) , a California round trip by car in 2018 and a visits in New York and the Quad Cities.
