Take a Virtual Hawaiian Vacation Without Leaving Home

Need a vacation but have no time or money? Take a virtual Hawaiian vacation. No money required, no vacation days to give up, and no planning required.

Webcams are allowing more people to enjoy the real-time images across the Internet to faraway destinations. Now you can check out the Hawaiian waves off the North Shore of Maui at http://www.mauiwindcam.com/streaming/ . Two webcams capture the Uppers Kanaha and Camp One, famous windsurfing spots. Professional windsurfers launch right in front of the camera and train in the winter months before starting the Professional Windsurfers Association tour. The camera runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. HST but replays the previous 12 hours during dark hours.
