#33....Travel 2.0
This was a very fun "Thing". Now I understand google maps a little more, as the sites that I looked at
"showed google maps". What is travel 2.0? To make it simple it is "travel information sites".
I know if I ever go on a fantastic out of the country trip...I will set up a travel blog-My Life of Travel- what a great way to keep your family informed of your travels without having to make phone calls. I did follow Eric Perkins (Kare 11) blog when he was at the winter Olympics. Very interesting!!
I also looked at gusto.com. This is also a good site..I looked at the Las Vegas travel guide on this site as we spent a week in Las Vegas in January. You could look at people ratings of restaurants, attractions, night life, landmarks, shopping etc.
Take a look at "notes from the road" if only to see the beautiful pictures. "Green routes" is easy to use..all you need to do is fill in the city you are interested in visiting. Of course I had to look at ..fastfoodmaps.com.
You can pinpoint where the fast food restaurants such as Mcdonalds, Burger King, Hardees etc. by city and state.This site also has.. caffeinemaps.com. Did you know there are 10,709 Starbucks locations in the U.S as of July 2008? Everyone should look at these sites before venturing out on their travels...good info!
