About Us
We are a new company focused on making it is easier for families to make travel decisions. We want to help families find great answers to that question "What should we do for our vacation?" Our team has years of experience in both travel and the internet from leading companies including Yahoo, Hotels.com and Oracle. Together, we believe the internet can become as good a tool for deciding where to go as it is for booking a cheap plane ticket to get there. It can be as helpful in deciding what to do as it is for finding a great deal on a place to stay. Nothing beats real life experience. We believe it is important to reach out to real families to capture their experiences and allow them to share their insights with others. In return we want to support families by supporting the institutions that sustain and support them, such as schools, PTA's, sports leagues and clubs.
