Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear.   I’m Fred Fishkin.       Itching to travel?     For now, you may have to settle for a virtual spring getaway….and who else but Amazon  can make that happen.    Amazon Explore….at www.amazon.com/explore  has a variety of virtual excursions available.   Veena Crownholm …a spokesperson…says…

“So you sign up online or on your mobile device and then you immerse yourself into a virtual destination.   So you could choose from food and drink, or wellness, cultural landmarks, you could go on walking tours, do personal shopping.   It’s pretty much like going to a destination and being there live but you do it with an interactive one on one host.”

There are about 250 experiences available with more to come.  Prices for these virtual, live, guided experiences start at 10 dollars.
