headinclouds makes an excellent point. I bought my first RTW for my husband and me before discovering the insanity of FT RTWs. I used it for a 3 1/2 week vacation so that we could travel comfortably to some far flung places. Now I shudder at the miles I left on the table - but you know, we had a great time and it was perfect for us then.

We visited:

- India - Rajasthan area

- Bali

- Vietnam - bought a ticket locally to travel between Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh.

This was a Star RTW, as flew that alliance solely at the time.
