One for the Road: 1,000 Places to See in the U.S. and Canada
Yesterday we suggested a tool to use for logistical aspects of your travel planning. Today we overwhelm you with a list of destination choices for North America, a semi-tribute to America during the recent holiday. Earlier this spring, Patricia Schultz, author of the mega 1,000 Places to See Before You Die, released a second version:1,000 Places to See in the USA and Canada Before You Die. So now you've essentially got about 2,000 places (minus the overlap) to choose from. Yikes!
This 1,200-page monster has loads of suggestions for travelers -- things you can do this summer and throughout the year. The book is organized by region, and includes subject-specific indices sorted by interest -- wilderness, great dining, best beaches, world-class museums, sports and adventures, road trips, and more. And hey, mom and dad -- there's also a handy index that breaks out the best destinations for travel with kiddies. Plenty to pick from in this one!

FINALLY! I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BOOK! I LOVE READING ABOUT OTHER PLACES, AND VISIT MANY USA/CANADA LOCATIONS, AS I AM NOT A WORLD TRAVELER YET-SOMEDAY, WHEN FINANCES ALLOW, BUT FOR NOW, I WANT TO SEE MY OWN BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY! THIS BOOK OUGHT TO PROVIDE A LOT OF IDEAS FOR PLACES A PERSON MAY NOT REALIZE IS EVEN THERE. CAN'T WAIT TO PICK UP A COPY.
