JIMBOLIGUY:
Earlier in the thread (in the "Buzz" forum, I think) it was stated about 12,000 Austrailian or Canadian dollars (they are roughly par.) This translates into about US$8000. But elsewhere, it was stated that a 39,000 mile, 6 continent, 15 stop trip would be about US$2400. If you did 2 of those end to end, that would just about be equivelent. (78,000 miles vs. 83,000, 30 segments vs. 26, etc.) So it sounds like you could almost do this trip for about US$5000.
