Round The World ticket...........where would you go ??

[SimonV8ster]

Right, thinking of taking some time off (about 6-7 weeks) and think a round the world ticket might be best.

Done most of Aus, been to Singapore, been to parts of Thailand & Cambodia, done quite a few countries in Europe.

Want to go to South America and might 'pop in' to see a couple who live in Dallas at christmas.

Where do you folks think I should also go and see ?? China/Japan, New Z, Canada ?? What do you reckon to make it a truely memorable trip ??

There and back!...see how far it is.

Fly to the US, then down to Brazil, do the South American stuff and then fly direct from Chile or Argentina to NZ. Visit a few Pacific Islands and then head off to Japan/China.

6-7 weeks is not enough to do NZ, imo. We spent 3 months and could have done with another month at least. You could do bits but you'd have to go back and do the bits you've missed.

Back here, hopefully....

I agree, 6-7 weeks aint that long really.What about doing it in two phases?. I think maybe south america and somewhere else over that end of the world.Also, get a book called "The Earth" by Cube Books, you wont be stuck for ideas.

3 or 4 days in Beijing, I found it a an unpleasant place to actually be but on reflection a great experience.

There are LOADS of historical places to visit there but if you plan it right you can do 2 or 3 in a day because you don't really have to spend hours upon hours at them all.
