Michael,
If you're looking for experiences outside the flying experience, can I suggest having a look at the RTW forum on ThornTree on
www.lonelyplanet.com ?
There's a lot of good information (and the usual daft questions) on the day-to-day stuff about living out of a rucksack for months on end. However, be aware that they are *useless* about planning/buying RTW flight tickets, apart from when
Gardyloo helps them out
I think that a lot of people here use RTW tickets as an access to reasonably priced D/A class, without necessarily engaging in 'traditional' RTW trips.
