  Free Trip .. Around the World !!
(virtually, anyhow)

by Bill Murray

January 3, 2010

We've found a way to give away a FREE trip around the world, compliments of our friends (and their followers) at FOXNews.com. Okay, so it's a virtual trip, but, hey you can visit all these places as often as you like .. and in your underwear!

Please note that making up this list of available webcams from around the globe is a communal effort, and FOX is asking you, the readership, to help them keep the list accurate, current, and ever-expanding. There's an email link below where you can write them. Maybe you can suggest another webcam they don't already know about !!!

Maybe you'd like to help us be able to vist YOUR home town !!!

And, hey .. to get things started .. here's a webcam from Boca Raton, FL, just around the pervebial "bend in the river" from me ! --> LakeBocaCam.com (I'm on the water, too, in betweeen Fort Lauderdale and these pictures in Lake Boca.)
