I feel manifestly unequal to the task at hand, after reading so many good trip reports here. Seeing people who actually paid thousands of dollars for their tickets, doubling over in laughter, knowing that many more before you have done a far better job at maximizing their travel, going to even more exotic places than you have, staying at luxury hotels and villas... and, well, generally not making a hash of things as I am likely to be doing.

And yet, here I am. I suppose I shall do my best and make this work as best I can. Doubtless I've bitten off more than I can chew here.

This trip hasn't happened yet, but we'll go with the outline here. Hopefully this will shame me into completing the trip report.

Part 1: Planning and whatnot. Inspiration
Part 2: Leaving SEA... and UA intercontinental F
Part 3: Does our hero leave NRT? Oh, and how did the NH flight go?
Part 4: Hong Kong: A Pub and whatever else we can find...
Part 5: Come to beautiful Bali... with Singapore Air
Part 6: Two sides of Bali
Part 7: Off to Bangkok with Thai
Part 8: The Chao Praya
Part 9: To Macau
Part 10: On to Europe and Berlin, thanks to Swiss F, and a brief FRA interlude with LH... and what's this, back to Y on AB?
Part 11: 5 days of oontz in Leipzig
Part 12: Dinner with a friend in Cologne... and scotch for breakfast in the FCT.
Part 13: Conclusion
