I joined National Geographic Online and Lonely Planet Online so that I can regularly escape to images of the beauty of the earth. When I wake up early in the morning, like at 3AM and cannot go back to sleep, (it is 4:33 AM right now for instance) I go to these refuges and revel in the beauties of the earth that these online publications show me. Right now I am viewing a book from National Geographic that has photos and info about 50 of the world's most spectacular places. The photos are awesome and the little sidebars that tell you about what they are, where they are and a bit of history sometimes too, are the next best thing to being there. The quality of the photos is just breathtaking. It is like taking a mini-vacation every morning when I first get up. Also, Nat Geo gives you access to their full archives of all their magazines from way back. You will never run out of stuff to enjoy with them. And online membership is very affordable. Lonely Planet is free, if you cannot afford Nat Geo.
