We're not going to Africa and to South America on this portion of the trip because, as I said, I didn't feel I had enough time to do it justice during this trip. I'm not sure how that warrants an "only in America" response.

You could also make a comment about how I'm not planning on going to Muslim countries but because of the fact that I'm a heavily tattooed and visibly tattooed woman, my personal safety is more important to me. I originally had planned to visit several countries but then was warned away by readers who live there that it wasn't a good time to visit.

I already have a separate trip planned for S. America that's being arranged by my contacts there.

Africa itself also has way too many cultures where body modification is ingrained into their culture and I also feels that it deserves it's own trip. Having spent 2 months in S. Africa, I feel like I'm not a closed minded "American".

I also just said that I have promoters bringing us to Russia so it's all dependent on what they put together for us. They have assured me that while we're in Europe, they will be able to arrange our visas for us and that it won't be an issue.

I suppose that because I'm going to Australia/NZ, Asia, India, Isreal, Europe, Scandinavia, Russia, etc that it's not enough to call it a "world tour"? What would you suggest that I call it instead so that I can be more politically correct?
