Short answer - - Nooooooo!!!! Don't do it!!! As soon as you don't fly a flight in the middle of an itinerary, all the rest of your flights will cancel out as a no show - - and you won't get home!! You should be allowed 1 stopover on an internatioal award ticket, but first, you'll hafto find availability for the new flights you want. Then, you'll hafto pay the redeposit / change fee - $100, I think.
So you should hunt around online for availability for the new flights you want or call the NW/DL Gold hotline for assistance in finding new flights that work for you, but good luck finding them at the low 60K level. The one good thing is that if you call, most people will hafto pay a $20 direct over the phone ticketing fee, but you have that fee waived as a Gold member.
