1,000 Places To See Before You Die

(ps: Pardon the white stripes - I don't know how to get rid of them -- sorry)  

Ms. Patricia Schultz offered her book, 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, printed originally in 2003, published by Workman Publishing, New York, after seven year’s work.  It has become, I think, kind of a cult publication which, if one scans the Internet, is loved by some who planned in advance to hate it, hated by some who probably thought in advance they had already conquered the list, and debated by those who felt she probably could have done more research.  I fall into that last category.  All I know for certain is that I went to five book stores before I could find a copy to give my wife.  Everywhere I went, it was sold out.

I think there are places on the list that are of little or no interest to anyone, while missing some of the finest places on earth to learn, relax, become excited or frightened, or just wonder. Similarly, I’ve lived or traveled in certain cities, states and counties where she has certainly, in my opinion, missed the boat.  The best example is Washington, the District of Columbia.  While she lists the Mall and the Smithsonian, she overlooks ten’s of places of national, if not international importance, as well as I’ve said above, places “to learn, relax, become excited or frightened, or just wonder.” But then, everyone who’s read the list of “1,000 Places” will have varied opinions of her choices and wonder at her criteria.

So, on to the list.  (By the way, there are more than 1,000 places listed.) We’ve marked the list in red where either one of us has been, or where we’ve been together. In blue we’ve marked the places we’ve already scheduled to visit.   We feel we’ve done a lot of traveling, but if our travels are evaluated by comparison to the list, our ravels must be said to be negligible.

We hope, fellow traveler, you have the opportunity to check off a majority of the list.
