We're going to Colorado for the first time!
I absolutely love Kayak's explore function. It's great if you have a budget/schedule preference, but not a location preference for your next trip. As far as I know, it's the only travel site that offers something like that. And as a freelancer, whose life is mostly determined in two to three month blocks of time, it's a wonderful way to find new places to travel to.
I used to be prejudiced against traveling within America when I worked full-time. With only ten days off per year, it seemed kind of like a waste for some reason, beyond taking long weekends here and there upstate or to beaches. We broke that streak with our last trip to Hawaii, which was probably more of an easing into American travel considering it's a zillion miles away and a tropical country, so now I feel ready for this.
