Thanks a lot to everyone who is following my journey to every country in the world. I'm in Seattle now, but will be back out on the road in about two weeks.

Before we all start getting screwed over on the loss of 20-segment RTWs, I decided I should probably do some forward planning and ticket another one before June 1. Ideally I'll end up getting more than one, but we'll leave that discussion ("Bankruptcy vs. RTW?") for later.

Okay, here's what I'm looking at:

JNB-MRU-LHR-LCA-BUD-KBP-LHR-MIA-PTY-MIA-BZE-DFW-SEA-JFK-HKG-PNH-HKG-KTM-HKG-JNB

(19 segments so far; I may need at least one overland segment depending on how we structure it)

My criteria are 1) I need to go places I haven't been before, as much as possible with a consideration for out-of-the-way places, and after that, 2) mileage maximization on AA.

A few considerations:

*I'll combine this trip with some overland or additional ticketed travel-- for example, I'll go to Bhutan from KTM and Moldova from the Ukraine.

*In the validator PNH does not show up as a valid destination, but I believe DragonAir flies there, so I chose "ignore errors" for that one.

*I'd like to work a couple of the first segments into visiting Windhoek, Namibia-- but it seems that would not be possible due to the need to transit back through JNB. Correct?

*I know I could switch the PNH to Dhaka or Columbo, but I need to get to Cambodia and Laos sometime, so I may save one of the longer flights for later.

How can we make this better? On my first one, which I'm currently traveling on, you guys helped a lot with improved routings, increased mileage, and overall good tips.

Thanks in advance for checking it out!
