1000 Places to See Before You Die...

In 2003, the book 1,000 Places to See Before You Die came out.  I think I bought it the first time I saw it and have kept track of the destinations I've visited by checking them off in the book.  I know Patricia Schultz is in the process of creating the updated revision, but I still think I'll continue to keep track in my original.  Since I've been concentrating on school and haven't traveled recently, I thought I'd compile the list so far here along with some of my favorite pictures of some of the destinations.
