WEBSITE OF THE DAY: TravelingBoy.com

The Traveling Boitanos (http://travelingboy.com/)

Here’s a new travel website that just launched yesterday. It’s called TravelingBoy.com but it’s short for The Traveling Boitanos. How the site was created is just as interesting as the content. It turns out that on July 5th, 2007 -- 14 Boitano siblings met for the first time at a family reunion. Their only link - and completely unbeknownst to one another - the same father. The centerpiece of the reunion was the 80th birthday celebration of their father Floyd Boitano. Despite having different mothers and having been raised in entirely different environments, all twelve siblings exhibited certain common traits and possessed almost an uncanny resemblance to one another. It became obvious that the well-traveled Floyd Boitano genes were strong and that the Boitano family was finally becoming one. At the end of the day, the group decided to create a family newsletter, in an attempt to stay in contact with one another. The newsletter evolved into TravelingBoy.com. On the site, you’ll find each Boitano writing about a different subject -- from food travel to political travel.
