check!
I was elated last night when I suddenly realized that I was able to mark off another entry in my favorite book: 1000 Places to See Before You Die
I had forgotten that our destination from the other weekend, Al Ain, was an entry!
I could spend hours sitting and sifting through that book, which has both man-made and natural wonders from around the world, and often do. The best part is that it doesn't just have PLACES. It has activities. As well as restaurants and places to stay, etc.
I got the book a few years ago from my Aunt, she has it as well. Whenever I go to a new place in the book I send her a postcard with the date and the page number. Its very fun. :)
So I stumbled across a few things that weekend- a forgotten entry in my book, and an inadvertent border cross. (I went to Oman- just the tiny part that is separate- Al Ain is half in each country). Exciting stuff!
Now I just have to find a post card for my aunt- forgot to buy one of course.

Hook it up. We'll hit some shisha and you know you have a place to stay when you get in. Excited yet?
by the way, nice blog.
That's a ridiculously awesome idea. I'm stealing it...there are quite a few people I know that could really use a book like that. Amazon.com...here I come!! =)
