Ok everyone, get your maps out because we've decided the RTW route! It does a big circle from Europe to Asia and back to Europe, but this will ensure no winter weather! LOL
So, starting in Nov:
Costa Rica
South America (not sure on this route yet, but Brazil, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina)
South Africa
Tanzania (for February)
Egypt
possible jaunt over to Jordan
Tunisia
Morocco
Spain (by ferry around beginning of April)
France
London
Netherlands
Sweden
Finland (around September)
Russia - St. Petersburg and Moscow and then Trans-Siberian
Mongolia
China in October
Tibet (I consider this a separete country from China)
Vietnam by train from China in November or December
India via Bangkok for January/February
possible jaunt to Sri Lanka
Maldives (back to India)
Iran in March
Uzbekistan aound April
Azerbaijan
Turkey
Greece in May
Italy
Czech
Germany
back to Canada in July or August

All up: 19 months, 34 countries, untold dollars LOL If we can't save enough money we'll have to cut off parts of the trip. Basically we've put a lot of Europe at the end cuz we can go there any time.

This is the dream trip! Do I have any rich relatives that want to donate funds? ;)
