Generous Adventures Travel Auctions - Best of the Net
-Adventure travel auctions from a company that donates its profits to selected organizations. "Each month, the About.com Guide selects one or two "Best of the Net" links out of the many sites in various categories. To earn this award, a Web site must be one of the very best in its category. It has to stand out as a better-than-average. Not many sites can earn the distinction of "Best of the Net".
