How about a hotel that doubles as an art museum? They've done it in Japan -- read about it on the Tripatini blog.

Just heard a great story on NPR today about how Brit comedian George Egg cooks his meals away from home using standard hotel room amenities: coffeemaker, iron, even, believe it or not, the Gideon Bible. I think you foodies will get a real kick out of the video. Bon appétit!

If you're looking for an eco-friendly, beautiful destination this fall, check out the brand new Nature Inn at Bald Eagle State Park.

The first to open its doors, the Nature Inn at Bald Eagle State Park in northern Centre County, opened Sept. 2. The 16-room inn is the first of its kind in Pennsylvania’s award-winning state park system. It highlights the excellent birding opportunities at Bald Eagle (many bird species are attracted to the park’s ridges, valleys and diverse habitat); and demonstrates and interprets green building technologies, including geothermal heating and cooling, rainwater collection, and energy efficient lighting and appliances. The Inn also features the work of three PA Wilds Juried Artisans, as well as prints by John James Audubon and Ned Smith, the famous late Pennsylvania naturalist and artist who created more than 100 cover illustrations for Pennsylvania Game News. Visit www.natureinnatbaldeagle.com to learn more!
