You can start with just WHO you are traveling with and WHAT you want to do and let the system suggest things. The product was built by LeisureLogix LLC to allow any web site to add this capability. They host the application AND the content, as well as providing the support. The whole notion behind creating this tool was to change the old paradigm that required you to say WHERE and WHEN you want to travel and to allow travel planning that mirrors how people plan in real life. Over $700b in travel is sold in the US each year and only $100b of that is sold online. One of my theories (as the founder of LeisureLogix) is that the systems don't mirror real life, and as such, force people to go offline to plan their trips. And because 88% of all Americans travel by car, this type of tool is needed to break out of the "point to point" travel planning mode and get to true journey planning.
