Well, I just checked my favorites list, and I have about 40 travel sites bookmarked. Which does not include travel sites for individual places like London, Paris, New Zealand, and Mexico. I have two separate folders for travel, one of which is only airlines and then a sub-folder in there for Farefinders. Oh wait, I might have more than 40. Just remembered I have another folder that is only lodging. LOL

This is so tough - I have so many websites that are 'must see's" LOL. I'll try to limit my list here to um under 10 gawd how to only choose 10? LOL.

http://www.opendiary.com/default.asp

(This is a great read - I have about 6 diaries that I read weekly)

http://www.metaspy.com/spy/warningtop.html?shadow=102489382.928

(I love to watch this - I get so many ideas of places I'd like to go on the net by watching other peoples searches)

http://osd.ojnk.net/cgi-bin/rgp.cgi

(I use sevearl different random site programs but this one is my favorite)

http://waquarium.otted.hawaii.edu/cameras.html

(geez picking one was tough! I love to watch webcams - aquariums are my favorites - but I also really enjoy watching the NY Taxi cam and many others)

http://www.llnl.gov/llnl/lists/listsc.html

(I love lists - love makng them - reading them and so on - I also love lists OF lists go figure lol - here's one of my favorite list of lists sites)


OK gosh this is hard - lol but I will stop here. You should be aware though that one of my most used sites is the ItList - it's a site where people put all their bookmarks online (so they can access them from anwhere) Most are public. It's basically like this thread except you can orginize the urls into sections of course it's a bookmark manager lol.

I left out Pandacam, but it was mentioned elsewhere on the boards

http://www.sandiegozoo.org/special/pandas/pandacam/

I really hope that Bai Yun, the mother panda, is pregnant again (they won't know for awhile) because when she had her first baby, they had the cam in the den and it was totally addicting; she was the best mom and the baby was so cute and when the baby started moving around a lot, ANY mother could have sympathised.. Mom would play with her, roll around, nurse her, etc. and then later when she'd leave the nest, mom would go and get her back, over and over until she slept, then it got so Mom would sit on her back step around midnight while the cub raced around. The cub started climbing trees and mom would want her to come down to nurse, one time she finally climbed up to nurse!

and another site that has several cams attached is

http://www.nola.com which is a New Orleans site that includes Bourbocam and Karaokecam and others.

Pandacam is down right now! I am suffering withdrawal pains. Dang, Seamonkey, wish I'd found it earlier. I just found it a few weeks ago. Hua Mei, the baby born in 1999 has to go to China in August, so I sure do hope the mother is pregnant again.

Whit, your sites look really interesting, just from the descriptions. I will try not to go to any of them, LOL.

Juju.. if she has another cub, you will be glued to the cam :)

Eaglecam

This one is pretty cool. It is a bald eagle's nest just southeast of Seattle. There are two juveniles and two adults in the nest. The juveniles are not flying yet, but I think it won't be long. They can often be seen spreading their wings in the nest. Sometimes the two juveniles look like dark brown lumps in the foreground, and then you can often see one or two of the adults, clearly distinguishable as bald eagles in the branches behind them. They are fairly active this morning, although I cannot see one of the juveniles. I suspect it is right behind the other one, thus blocked to the camera.

My favorites include many that deal with statistics.

http://www.census.gov You can find all kinds of interesting items here.

http://www.dol.gov Department of Labor (change the dol to doc and you reach the Department of Commerce)

I can't live without google. It is a superior search engine.

http://www.fark.com Links to strange and interesting news articles

http://www.courttv.com I like to keep informed. What can I say?

http://www.thesmokinggun.com Love this stuff

I also read Ted Casablanca's Awful Truth column every Thursday on eonline. Once you get used to his slang it's very entertaining.

I really screwed up that list I made.. I do love the shadowland site for fetishes but not for looking up current Israeli news :)

http://www.haaretzdaily.com/ will work better for that.

And one of the other left out ones was Courttv
(see Wcv63 post just above. That is a must for me.

I love this topic and wish everyone would list theirs. I've enjoyed looking around at all the listed sites.

It's easy to do if you have them in favorites just paste and copy.
