I thought I was buying the book that outlined the 1,000 places to see before dying and what I got was a blank paged book with the 1,000 places to visit before you die cover on it.
-Lynn Michelsohn, author of Roswell, Your Travel Guide to the UFO Capital of the World. also encourage keeping it handy. The daily travel quotes and the occasional lists scattered throughout are enjoyable to note. In the past I have often taken a spiral notebook on trips with the intention of keeping a daily journal, but intentions don't always translate into reality. After all, I paid for this fancy book and should certainly fill it with insightful observations and experiences.
