100 Things To Do Before You Die author dies

The end of last year I purchased this book on the advice of a friend. Tim and I wanted to go through the book crossing out places we have been and still wanted to visit. The other day the co-author of the book, Dave Freeman, died at the age of 47. Apparently he was at his beach side home where he tripped in a hallway and hit his head and died.

According to family members, Dave visited half the places mentioned in his book. He was looking forward to visiting the remaining destinations before he died. Maybe this is a message to the rest of us to experience life before it's too late.

A quote that Dave started his books with, " "This life is a short journey. How can you make sure you fill it with the most fun and that you visit all the coolest places on earth before you pack those bags for the very last time?"
