EL SEGUNDO, Calif. — Let’s face it, we’ve all had enough of this pandemic, It’s time for a proper vacation! But as much as we’d LIKE to get on a plane to Europe wouldn’t it be great if you could just travel there without all the hassle of luggage, and flights, and masks, and gloves? Well now you can! A new business in Hollywood called “Esqapes” can help you travel the world without even leaving the ground! Or this area! Get ready for the ultimate trip!
- A Virtual Vacay? What the heck is that?
- Micah Jackson, a genius who worked for both Disney and NASA has created a vast number of the ultimate, beautiful, virtual reality destinations for you to visit, whilst sat in the “Rolls Royce” of massage chairs. It’s like a Holiday in your head! - A holiday in your head? Isn’t that the plot of the movie, Total Recall?
- Yes but this is way cooler and better because it’s such a simple way to experience TOTAL relaxation that you’ll want to RECALL it when you’re out for dinner with your friends to make them jealous! - Ahh we see what you did there, that was clever. What kind of destinations are there? Can we go to Mars?
- No but you can sit poolside in Morocco, visit your own private tropical island, sit in a log cabin that’s surrounded by deep, soft snow, take a private submarine ride, or even sit in your own floating cabana whilst dolphins come to play. How about that then? - Yes but what about Mars?
- Really? OK look you can sit in a beautiful greenhouse that orbits the earth whilst your cares just float away…but no, not Mars and anyway, why do you want to go there? Based on previous experience the Martians aren’t all that welcoming... - I was kind of hoping to go to Mars. Oh well. How long is each relaxing vacay?
- 30 minutes! But by the time you’ve finished you feel like you’ve been away for a long weekend. And it’s way safer and cleaner than trying to get on a plane. The guys at Esqapes pride themselves on making sure the place is a safe-haven from COVID-19 as well as stress and it’s the perfect excuse to get away from the members of your family you’ve had to quarantine with for half a year… - Hey! I thought it was 5 things to know! Why is there a 6th thing?
- Oh sorry, I was too busy thinking about my next Virtual Vacay, I got distracted…and no I’m not going to Mars!!!
