Although it wasn't with the Star Alliance nor determined where I would be going the day I left, I had what became a round-the-world voyage at the end of 2008. The routing was EWR-BFS, DUB-PRG, PRG-TBS, TBS-IST, SAW-SHJ, (sidetrip to Kuwait from Dubai), DXB-BAH-BKK, (BKK airport closed so I had to mosey on down to Malaysia) KUL-HKG, HKG-HGH, NGB-SZX, SZX-BKK, BKK-(SYD)-AKL, AKL-NAN, NAN-LAX, LAX-JFK. Highlights included Tbilisi and the Arab area of BKK, and Xinjiang food in China.
