Help with RTW ex-OTP

I need to travel in November. Here's the criteria:
Originate OTP (Bucharest, RO) between 2 and 4 Nov
Must be in Washington, DC area by 5 Nov, 2006 for the Redskins/Cowgirls game.
Must be in DAC (Dhaka, Bangladesh) from 11-16 Nov.
Return to OTP anytime after that.
I know there's a 3 stop minimum and, given the pain-in-the-neck location and routing restrictions for both OTP and DAC, I figure more stops will be required to make this work, even at the minimum mileage level.

Preferred stops other than WAS and DAC: SEA and CAI, but other than that I'm easy. I don't really want to do a Europe stop on the way to DC, I'd rather break up the IAD-DAC trip into 2 or 3 portions to ease the pain. I don't mind 24-48 hour stops anywhere other than the two main stops.

I'd like to maximize my time on UA metal for the E+ seating (I'm 6'5" and can't consider a trans-pac in E- without shuddering).

I've got an: OTP-IAD-SEA-SIN-DAC-CAI-OTP itinerary sorta laid out, but I'm not a huge fan of the CAI stop: Having made four stops already, at that point I'll probably just want to get home but I can't make the program do it.
Any help/suggestions/telling me I'm an idiot for not considering X, Y and/or Z is appreciated.
