That means picking where to go. So far, I know this:
- Tickets originating anywhere outside of the US are much cheaper - originating in London looks like it might be cheapest
- I probably need to be on Oneworld ... both because I'll have some status through 2010 and they fly through Easter Island
- Flying west looks like it might be easier, but that doesn't work starting in London - should I actually be concerned about this, business consultant me?
OK! Let's start with a route. These are the must-dos:
- Easter Island (see above)
- Capetown
- New Zealand
- Ayers Rock / Uluru, Australia
- Rarotonga / Cook Islands
- Cairo
- Rio de Janeiro
- Petra (Amman, Jordan)
Second priority (you can only do so much in 6 months ..)
- Delhi! (again)
- Berlin (again)
- Varanasi
- Nairobi (best July-Oct)
- Serengeti (best June-early July; avoid March-May)
- Galapagos (best Jan-March)
- Berenty, Madagascar (best May-June, Sept-Nov)

- Quito
- Zagreb, Croatia
- Dublin
- Istanbul

Sounds exciting!
I notice that Baltimore did not make any of your tiers, but we do have a guest room you're welcome to use if you'd like to come by.
Also, I'm tentatively planning a trip to France this September, if you would like to either
1. meet up
or
2. share tips from your time in France.
Good luck with your trip!
