Off-topic Advice Needed
First, I apologize for this completely off-the-subject thread. I promise not to abuse this forum again, but I've been a member of this community for a while, and hope you'll tolerate this one excursion from a "family" member who needs some advice.
For about a year, I've been developing a new company with a goal of providing recreational information and discounted tickets for attractions across the USA. Our research tells us that most people don't have a destination in mind when they decide they need an "escape," and our goal is to help them see the available options.
What I'd like to do is get some "free" feedback (from a group of people who are normally not shy about giving opinions!) on what we need to do better. I promise that I'm not trying to sell you anything, I'm just trying to get some comments on what works, and what needs improvement.
The Web site in question is www.familyescape.com.
Please feel free to contact me directly at gocrowther@attractix.net if you'd prefer to not clog up the forum with this.
Again, I'm sorry if I've offended anyone with this post.

Hey Mike,
I went to the site and I liked it very much when I searched from my home zip code, there were ALOT of attractions, 398 pages to be exact. But, I have a time share in Lake Tahoe, CA and do not know the zip code, when I tried a search using "South Lake Tahoe, CA" within 100 miles leaving the zip blank, it came back zip not found. I received the same message for "Lake Tahoe, CA". maybe I did something wrong? Some people have a destination in mind but do not know all of the attractions in the area, like if I went to Hershey PA, I know Hershey Park is there, but what else is there to do? Again, maybe I did something wrong. But I liked the site. What search criteria would I have to use to have it show up in a general internet search?
Small thoughts from a small mind
