Roadtrip Planning 101

We are planning a roadtrip for Spring Break - leaving in just a week!
  • Two couples with many common interests - BBQ, baseball, and outdoor fun.
  • One big conversion van equipped with 4 capt chairs, a TV/DVD player, and hook-ups for a Wii or PS2.
  • 1600 miles
  • 26 hours of driving
  • Too many BBQ joints ruining the beach bod's along the way!!
How do we decide? Well - there are a couple of websites dedicated to finding the PERFECT restaurant along your roadtrip:

Roadfood.com The most memorable local eateries along the highways and backroads of America
 - Jane and Michael Stern can be heard on the Splendid Table weekly on public radio. They find fun stuff!

Southern Foodways: Grab a napkin and go!
 - Driven by an initiative to capture the Oral History of the southerners who grow, create, serve, and consume food and drink.

Do you have any other great resources?
