Making Vacation Plans Over the 'Net?
rice_burners_suck asks: "For some reason beyond my comprehension, a whole bunch of family members are coming in to visit over the next month. The busiest weekend will take place when I'll have six guests to entertain, and I don't know where I'll take them or stay with them. I'd like to have a good time without breaking the piggy bank. Where, on the Internet, can I find good vacation places and compute a budget? I'm thinking of a service similar to AAA, but online. If something like this doesn't exist, how could I go about implementing one myself?"
...and there it comes. So subtle, yet so obvious once you've seen it. I can hear the rest of you think "huh?", but let me just ask one question to the submitter: Do you need this service because you are having guests over? And if so, why would you implement your own such system... if it weren't in fact an assignment, either in college or given to you by your boss!
