Also, am getting overwhelmed by the options...can anybody suggest some other good websites where people discuss RTW itineraries?
I'm interested in traveling to almost every country but need to narrow things down. What I learned from my SE Asia travel is that I liked it best when I settled into a place for at least a couple of weeks instead of always being on the move.
Welcome to FT!
There are no "Oneworld Alliance" miles; each frequent flyer program has its own redemption and routing rules, so you need to be a bit more specific.
For other sites that talk about RTWs, you might look at the Lonely Planet Thorn Tree's "Gap Year and RTW" forum -
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/thorntre...spa?forumID=58 - which has many such discussions.
Most redemption tickets have a one-year lifespan, so your idea of stopping to smell the flowers is fine if you have the time.
