Books that Caught My Eye

Today I ran across two books at the Golden Braid Bookstore, which is located in Salt Lake City, that I wanted to share. The first one is Change Your Life Through Travel by Jillian Robinson. Speaking from experience, I swear I come home a changed person. Right along side was 1,000 Places to See Before You Die by Patricia Schultz. I could check off a few places but sure would like to see more. Now if only I could accrue a 1,000 days of paid vacation.
