Log> Thoughts> Planning around the world
This is starting to look like a likely itinerary - at least directional. Want to join me? I'm not sure about the beginning bit, because I've got this weird idea of riding my motorbike to Dubai (or somewhere maybe a tiny bit closer), selling it there and starting flying then. For flights, the best deal for me seems to be the onWorld Global Explorer. I've a good tier status with them and tons of miles, if I feel like I need to upgrade or get to a lounge or something...
Leaving late March or early April from London, to:
EDIT: Most likely going to Mauritius first to purchase the oneWorld RTW ticket. The price differences are massive, especially in First Class. But it's still very affordable, and the miles you score make up for the proce difference to an Economy (shudder) ticket.

...and then back home, where ever that will be after this trip.
61 weeks... Ahem. It's a big world. I'll need to make the motorcycle idea happen, maybe that way I can drop the flight segment time needed to 12 months (a round the world ticket must be used within 12 months), although it might push the total duration up.
I'm starting off by myself, I think, but would love to find travel companions on the way, if for nothing else, sharing accommodation in the destinations where I'll stay longer. Lone traveling gets expensive if nothing else. I'll post and peruse these travel companion notice boards and sites, but some of them seem a bit dodgy. If you read this and feel like sharing the road at some point in the itinerary, let me know.

What? no Albania on your itinerary? Make part of your trip politically more volatile and you've got yourself a travel companion. :)
If I decide I can take on the motorcycle thing, I'll certainly go to Albania too.
And how's this not politically volatile enough? I'm timing my Cuba trip to about the time I estimate Castro to croak (fingers crossed) and there have been recent upheavals in Fiji. Honduras, I believe, is still a bit unstable. Sri Lanka, man, well that's another story.
Come along, we can go on a mission to liberate a sub-continent or something like that.
i'd leave a bit of time for the altiplano between chile and bolivia after santiago, one of the best places in the world, and maybe the inca trail. also if you have a chance, ladakh in kashmir in summer.
Sounds good. I'm in.
While you're in the South Pacific, there are a few Pacific War battlefields you could check out - Fiji won't have any, but you could find some in the Marshall Islands or - if you're feeling really adventurous - the Solomons or New Guinea. Maybe the latter - the Solomons had some strife earlier this year.
How much does you trip cost? I would like to join you as I am planning a world trip myself and I am quite flexible in terms of destinations.

enjoy, post lost and let us know how you get along with your nihongo + fijian tribe hunting

If you’re even a little bit exited about the DVD that you borrowed from me, I'd strongly recommend passing through Costa Rica and Indonesia. Especially Indo! -Affordable, great friedly people and most importantly has glassy, clean-cut, mind-blowing, goosebump-giving, life-changing, near-perfect waves to ride.
Think you made the best one out of the not-so-bad-at-all choices you had:) Have a dope journey brother, and let me know when you're in Buenos Aires -might be able to arrange some top of the line city guides and activities.
Ville - yes, you'll get the DVD back :). And I think I've seen photos of some of those 'top of line city guides': yeah, baby.
phulees. my dear friend, think of the film as a gift - a little something for you to keep in your mac's dvd drive for a rainy day.
