Isnt this just a prettier version of expedia or any of those travel sites.

if expedia and any of those travel sites had a UX update to something more elegant, more intuitive, and overall a more pleasing experience, wouldnt that be a good thing?

Also, I like how you've tweaked Isotope.js and got individual content boxes to become bigger on click with the slick animation. Good stuff. :D

Gorgeous photos. Love the simple UX. Watch your backs, Expedia, Travelzoo, etc.

Looks nice!

I'd like to see a feature where I give it a budget, maybe a temperature preference, and it books me a random trip.
