They say those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it, and I tend to agree. Like most people I’d like to put the last year behind me and look to the future. For this reason I am not going to review 2009, talk about 2010 or make a “10 things that “X” taught us about “X” in 2009″ post. Instead I’d like to take a light-hearted look way back to 1996 and 1997 at some of the best travel websites the internet had to offer. With any luck, looking at where we’ve been might give us some insight in to where we are going:

Expedia.com


Hertz.com

PhoCusWright.com


Sandiegozoo.org

Qantas.com


Travelocity.com

There you have it, a short trip through time thanks to the wayback machine. Feel free to look back on some of your own favourite websites, it can be quite educational (funny).
