Sundance Vacations Celebrates
As you may have already heard, and who hasn’t as people have been throwing it around on Social Media for the last week, today is Back to the Future Day!
While Marty McFly originally arrives in the past, 1955, in the first installment of the Back to the Future movie, part two takes place in the future! Well at least it was the future, until today.
The movie itself came out in 1989 and gave us a look at what its creators thought the year 2015 would look like. Back to the Future II was complete with hover boards, 3D Holograms, self-tying sneakers and of course, the Chicago Cubs winning the World Series! The time travel movie has our hero travel to October 21, 2015 to prevent his very own son from being thrown in prison.
Although the movie is about time travel, we found that ourselves and other travel companies certainly had a blast on social media, taking the idea and running with it. Here are some of the very best tweets from Back to the Future Day!
