While we may not be able to get out and explore as much as we’d like to this year, thanks to online resources, we can transport ourselves just about anywhere from our living room couch.  Take a museum tour of the Guggenheim or enroll in a marine biology course in the Maldives.  The possibilities are truly endless.
