I have read the stickies on RTW and have a few questions I don't see answered. I am probably going RTW on a Business Class 3/4 continent ticket.

1. I am incapable of figuring out where I want to go. So what I was thinking of doing is drawing up a plan where only the first continent is "written in stone". Then, when I am on way to next continent, I will change all the plans for the next continents. When done with the second continent , I'll change all the plans for the remaining continents, and so on. This way, I am changing plans 3 times and paying $75(?), each time, which I don't mind doing in order to gain the flexibility of being able to change plans, and not have to make those plans now, in which case I'll never get out of NY. Is this doable? Will I be charged for each flight I change, or only for changing plans (no matter how many flights as long as done at one time)

2. I see that cross atlantic and cross pacific flights don't count against the # of in-continent flights you're allowed (although they do count against total flights). My question is, what about intercontinental flights that don't cross atlantic or pacific? Ex. We are thinking of going from Africa to Asia. Does that count against Aftrica or Asia in continent flights. Or neither?

3. When they say "stopovers" are allowed, I am not 100% clear on that. If I want to see a lot of places does that mean I should look for flights with 1 or 2 stops versus non-stops to where I am going, and then get off the plane so I can see other places. Is that how the game is played? Avoid non-stops so you can use stops to see places?

Thanks for help.
