Itinerary Coming Together....

I have been working hard on planning the itinerary for my trip, and this is what I have lined up so far:

March 5th:  NY > Honolulu (for a rest on the beach for a few days before traveling on to Australia)
March 11th:  Honolulu > Sydney (I'll do an Airpass for Australia to get around to other parts of the country, ).
April 3rd:  Sydney > Saigon (to visit my friend Sue in Saigon.  Also want to plan a trip up to the northwestern part of the country which I had missed on my last visit; and maybe a quick stop in Burma?)
April 15th:  Saigon > Tokyo (to see Mike, Natsu and Kai)
April 21st:  Tokyo > Moscow (will also take the train up to see St. Petersburg)
May 3rd:  Moscow to Cairo (to do a trip down the River Nile)
May 18th:  Cairo > London (to stop in on some of my Brit friends)
May 24th:  London > Buenos Aires (to explore the city and the wine country; the gauchos and the tango dancers)
June 5th:  Buenos Aires > New York (Home Sweet Home!)

This may still be tweaked some as I continue my planning.  But I am getting way excited as I plan this trip!!  Stay tuned as I fine-tune my trip!

Trip Planning

Today I started the planning process for my Round The World (RTW) trip.  I haven't finalized my stops yet, but am thinking about Argentina; Egypt; Greece; Czech Republic; Russia; Australia; New Zealand; Tahiti; Easter Island; to name a few.  I may also want to stop off to see friends who live in Saigon, Viet Nam and Milan, Italy, if the timing works for them. 

You may think there are some important countries that I've left out, but I'm trying to only stop in countries I have not previously visited.....for example, I have been to Kenya, Uganda, South Africa, Botswana and Morocco in Africa....and to Japan, Thailand, Bhutan, India, China, Hong Kong, Viet Nam and Cambodia in Asia.  I have already visited 35 countries in total.  So with this trip, I am trying to add to that list!!

The first country I have been researching today is Argentina.  Has anyone been to Buenos Aires, or know someone who lives there?  Highlights of that stop would be the city of Buenos Aires, tango, Iguaza Falls, wine country and, of course, let's not forget the Gauchos!! 

Follow me as I plan the trip, and then go globeDOTTIng Round The World!!
