Stop sightseeing. Start adventuring.

I rarely leave the house. But when I do, I want wherever I go to be meaningful in some way. "100 Things" is great for planning a trip with talk value. I actually went to the "Custer's Last Stand Reenactment" last summer because of this book. Afterwards, I went to Yellowstone and did some normal sightseeing, (one more good thing about the book. Whatever they've covered, there is a bunch of other stuff you can do there too.) It's very cool that Dave Freeman and Neil Teplica have taken an adventurous view of life, and given housebound people like me some ideas on how to get out.

100 thing to do before I die

I am the sound designer of the SIMPSONS and an avid outdoorsman. I'm allways looking for new places for adventure and the opportunity to record the unique sounds these places offer. I recieved a copy of "100 things to do before you die" for Xmas, which I immediatly devoured and earmarked death. There were a few events that I recocnized in the book, but these guys made me feel like I've never left my backyard Travis Powers

"Unmissability" is in the eye of the beholder

Dave Freeman et al have provided some useful ideas on travel events that you just can't miss in this little book. Some of them are splendid, but some of them slightly cliched or bizarre. I, for one, would be happy never to go to Stoke-on-Trent again, especially since the scampi in the pub was off, no matter what the waiter said. The Barnes wetlands centre is, admittedly, a decent visit for the family, though not necessarily a "must-see". On balance, pretty good.
