Sample RTW itinerary - inputs please
 

I've compiled a RTW itinerary below that I want to do in 6 months or so. I intend to start off in London and end in Buenos Aires, I will be staying back in Buenos Aires to study spanish for 6 months so not using the Buenos Aires-London sector. I would appreciate feedback on the feasibility of this itinerary in a 6 month time period and also any opinions on any of the chosen destinations (worth it/not worth it etc.).

The * indicates a RTW point. I plan to use local cheap flights (Easyjet/Air Asia/Jetstar/Ryanair etc.)/trains/buses for the other sectors.

London*(UK) [Start point]
Ireland [Dublin]
Scotland [Glasgow]
Portugal [Lisbon*]
Spain [Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Ibiza, Alicante, Gibraltar]
Andorra (actually Madrid->Andorra->Barcelona...)
Morrocco [Tanger, Casablanca, Fez, Marrakesh]
Switzerland [Zurich*]
Greece [Athens*, Santorini, Crete]
Egypt [Cairo*, Alexandria, Luxor]
Jordan [Amman*]
Syria [Damascus]
Lebanon [Beirut]
Israel [Tel Aviv] (ret to Amman via the West Bank)
Turkey [Istanbul*]
India [Mumbai*, Bangalore]
Thailand [Bangkok*, Pattaya, Penang, Phuket]
Cambodia [Phonm Pen]
Vietnam [Ho Chi Min city]
Laos [Vientiane]
Malaysia [Kualalumpur]
Singapore
Indonesia [Jakarta, Ujon Kulon national park (Mt. Krakatoa), Borneo, Komodo, possibly Sulaweisi]
Brunei
China [Hong Kong*, Shanghai*, Beijin*, Xian]
Japan [Tokyo*, Osaka, Okinawa]
Argentina [Buenos Aires (via Wash. DC*)] [Stop point]
London* (UK) [End point Buenos Aires-LHR via FRA]

RTW sectors are: LHR-Lisbon-Zurich-Athens-Cairo-Amman-Istanbul-Mumbai-Bangkok-Hong Kong-Shanghai-Beijing-Tokyo-Wash DC-Buenos Aires[-Frankfurt-London]


Cheers, and thanks very much! :)

The first thing people do (I do, anyway) when we get a request such as yours is to plug the route into the GCM to get a picture of what you're thinking. To facilitate that, it's nice if you give the itinerary in a form that we can just copy and paste, e.g., LHR-LIS-ZRH. What's even more helpful is if you show the places you need/want to actually stop, as opposed to simply transit. One convention for indicating that is to put stops in CAPs and transits in lower case, e.g., LHR-lis-ZRH.

The easier you make it for people to help you, the more help you will get.

cheers,
