Hello! Destin from the Eat Well Guide here. Thanks for mentioning us in this great article. I also wanted to add that we just launched Eat Well Everywhere. It’s a mash-up of our local food listings with Google maps and enables you to plan a custom road trip and find good food on along your way–complete with a free booklet you can print and take with you.

In regard to “Point 5 – Stay Green” another great resource for find “Green” lodging is http://www.istaygreen.org

The site has around 3,000 properties that have been Green Eco-Leaf Rated. It’s also a social networking site similar to Facebook – TripAdvisor – and Expedia but all wrapped up into one website for the eco-friendly traveler. Their members write reviews on the properties they stay at based on their “Green” initiatives, so basically the public is creating an accountability system that forces the property owners to be truthful in their claims and do something about becoming more environmentally friendly.

iStayGreen.org is easy to use for finding rated “Green” lodging and with the eco-reviews and the social networking you get helpful information not found elsewhere on the net.
