Web Space
On the actual web space I am not sure off hand how mcuh it takes and can't check from here at the moment. If I had to guess I'd say about 150-200 megs or so, mostly due to maps and pictures of locations.
As for the database here's the actual numbers of entries and what you would get with the sale (note that most entries do not use all fields).
<b>Cities</b> - 512 entries.
Some of these are full scale city guides, some are bare bones entries that are there to allow for travel bookings to be made directly and for locations/events to be entered for that city.

<b>Locations</b> - 576 entries
This database allows you to document restaurants, bars, live music venues, etc for each specific city. Hotels are handled through WCT but this handles the other entries. The goal here was to allow people to enter ni this information for any city in our database (and add cities if not already in). So in the end you could have a large database of things to do in each city. Unfortunately we only had a chance to get a good number of entries in certain locations. Los Angeles, Boston, Las Vegas are well documented in here. Other cities have a varyign number of entries, or none at all.
