It must be the time for asking this sort of question! It's something I've been wondering about for a long time and I finally got round to posting my version less than 40 hours later.

Also, does anyone remember the old PA FF RTW award. It was called "round the world in 80 days" and was pretty much that. You had to travel with PA (and partners?) round the world in one direction, completing 80 days or less after the first sector. I seem to remember that it didn't require a huge number of points, considering what you got for them.
