How Do You Eat an Elephant?


The answer to the old joke is, "One bite at a time."

How do you see the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die? The answer: One site at a time!

But how do you actually go about it?

If I were independently wealthy I think maybe I would start at the first entry and work my way through the book, seeing and reading as I go. But being as I am not wealthy, this will not work very well for me. The book starts in England. I not going to be able to pop over to England for quite some time so I better come up with a more workable plan.

It seems to me to be best to just start where ever I am going next. Or better yet start close to home and work my way out. Quick Look Oh, Man! This could not have worked out better. One of the three entries for Kentucky is "The Bourbon Trail" (page 631) just right down the road in Bardstown (about one hour away).

I think I know what my first "Place" will be.

See you there.
