Excerpt
1,000 PLACES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE was 7 years in the making, but really was--and continues to be--the result of an exciting and educational lifetime of research, whether the many years merrily spent on assignment for travel guides such as Frommer's, Accessand Berlitz,or for personal reasons and the curiosity and itchy feet that shaped my life since I first set off alone, at four, from the family beach blanket in Atlantic City. The Great Beyond has called me ever since, a siren's call to explore the untold magic and fascination, and fun, that the world promises at every turn. Yes, at the Grand Canyons and Taj Mahals of the world, but here are 998 more I guarantee will get you off the couch.
