step one · the idea
Someone types
a paragraph.
Jordan Park hadn’t seen the Reyes family since last Thanksgiving. Her kids were a year older. The Chens had a new baby. She opened Longtable and typed:
“Thanksgiving-adjacent beach trip, 3 families, all-inclusive or resort, kids under 10.”
Jordan Park · Oct 15, 2026
Five minutes later…
Three real options come back: Cabo, Puerto Vallarta, Cancun. Lodging in budget. Activities that work for kids. Estimated cost per family.

Cabo San Lucas

Puerto Vallarta

Cancun
step two · the lock
Everyone submits.
Dates lock.
Sarah Chen started this one. Her family hadn’t done a proper weekend trip in two years. She typed:
The only weekend that works for everyone
Three families dropped their constraints — available weekends, budget ceiling, must-haves, deal-breakers. The constraint solver found one feasible weekend. It locked itself.
One family said Oct 10–19. Another needed Oct 17–26. The third was open any weekend. The solver found Oct 17–19 — the only overlap. Locked.
Lodging vote is in progress. Two of three families voted for Enchantment Resort. One vote to go.

When it’s over,
a card.
Marcus Reyes didn’t expect the memory card. It arrived three days after they got home.
“The fog burned off by ten. Coffee on the hotel balcony, Stearns Wharf visible through the palms.”

When the trip wraps, a memory card arrives — a short narrative, the photos, the highlights. Six months later it surfaces again with one question: plan another?
That flywheel is how friendships survive the year.

Just your family.
The dog too.
Or plan something simpler — a beach weekend in Ventura with the family and the dog.
Not every trip needs three families and a constraint solver. Sometimes it’s one household, two kids, one dog, and a Pierpont Airbnb. Longtable handles the simple trips too — booking plan, cost tracker, itinerary, the works.

The trips that almost didn’t happen,
happen.
One workflow from “we should do something” to a memory card. Longtable is in closed alpha — sign up to plan your first trip.
