My first RTW was solo and didn't come out as planned. Started in DIY (probably not many start in DIY I would assume) then to ESB-IST-ATH-CAI-SSH-CAI-BKK.

This is where it got funky, I had a great trip planned, 3 months SCUBA diving some of the best places, the Red Sea, Similan Islands, Flores, Philippines. Then to Hong Kong, Japan, Alaska, back home to Indiana for a while and then a couple of weeks in Europe before heading back to work. But noooooooooooooo, I came down with hepatitis while I was in BKK and spent 11 days in the Bangkok Nursing Home hospital, then the doctors didn't want me to travel for a while so just hung out in BKK for six weeks.

Still had fun, except for the destroyed liver thing.....
