Just discovered your trip reports. Nice report on your LAN flights. We will be taking the same flights in July on our trip with my 7 year old to Easter Island. Looking forward to reading the full report on where you stayed and what you did on Rapa Nui.
I did my RTW trips when I was in my 20's and single. Much harder now with a family and am jealous that you can get the time off to do so.
