UPPER MIDWEST

A traveler's life list for the Upper Midwest
As if we didn't have enough pressures in our lives, now we have "1,000 Places to See Before You Die." Published last fall, it's a fat little book listing the best things to do and see around the world — rafting the Mangoky River in Madagascar, attending the Pushkar Camel Fair in India, basking on the beaches of Bora Bora.
