Here's a summary of the trip which is definitely not a mile-maximizer:

JNB-DOH-ORD - flying home after safari and visit to Vic Falls (Jan)
ORD-HDN-ORD - weekend ski trip to Steamboat Springs (Mar)
ORD-TUL-ORD - weekend trip to visit family (May)
- I know this is VERY low mileage but the ticket prices are usually high hence the good "value" by including this on the DONE4
ORD-LAX-HNL - Hawaii with some of the family (Jun)
HNL-NRT-PEK - visit to China with my wife (1 week - Jun/Jul)
PEK-HEL-DUB - visit to Ireland with wife (1 week - Jul)
DUB-MAD-JNB - finish the trip and start the next; likely just a few nights in MAD (Jul)
