Low on travel money? How to virtually road trip for free

This year the popular summer travel season doesn’t seem quite so enticing. Gas is over $4 a gallon, the dollar is so low that in Europe they’re getting used for scrap paper and airlines now have you paying to check baggage. What is a travel hungry person to do?

Ok ok, obviously sitting in front of the computer is not as good as actually traveling, but we’ll take what we can get. Here’s to cheap summer internet travels!
