Cheers Matty. Which one you like?

Matthew

the whole lot...as a whole.

funny, i like to think of myself as a traveler but the
fact is i've hardly been all that many places...i love
hearing about these world tours people do...and sit
back and fantasize about the possibility of doing it
some day (while fighting regret for not getting it done
in my earlier 20s).

the pics above though..they're all gone (for me at least)

I was going to ask the same thing. Get them back on! Great travel journal. How did you book the trip and choose the destinations? Is there anything you can recommend to people who want to do the same thing?

I saw an ad in The Bangkok Post last year showing trips around the world with a coalition of good airlines. Both Bangkok and Dubai were on the one route, and they also offer routes in the US, Aus & NZ, Europe etc.

I booked at a place called STA, they're an experienced travel agent where RTW (round the world) tickets are concerned.
Flew with BA and Qantas mostly. Great value (900 quid I think??!)
How did I choose my destinations? I sat at my desk in England, looked at the grey sky outside and dreamt of being somewhere else, great places I'd always wanted to visit: NY, LA, Hawaii, Uluru, Great Barrier Reef, HK, Vietnam and Thailand.

I would recommend doing a lot of reading up before you go.
But that's just obsessive little old me. I couldn't imagine pitching up somewhere without knowing loads about it first.

Anyway, where were we? Oh yeah, Melbourne. No, actually we're done with Melbourne. Onwards, to the red centre and Uluru!

Being a bit of a salty old sea dog, I wasn't exactly relishing spending three days in the desert, but I kinda fell in love with the remoteness, tranquility and clean air.
As we flew in, I peered out the window at the endless expanse of red earth and saw the big bastard rock itself in the distance. I hired a shitty, white Mitsibushi and barreled along the near empty road to my hotel..

Cool. Did you get to see it change colour with the sunset?

Nickyboy

You'll see....
