Well as I told you in the last post I have been waiting to get my next big trip approved and this one will be a doozy. I have always wanted to do this and now that I am a new person, I am going to do it. I am heading off around the world in Business Class. Yes thats right, Business Class. Ticking that one off the Bucket list and hopefully a few more things along the way. It is going to be an epic epic journey.<\/p>\n
So I have spent a while just working out where to go on this one and then once I got that down pat, it was a matter of how long, what flights, which airlines and what to do. Now by no means are my plans finalised yet. I still have a LOT to do on this trip. But the locations are now set. So here is the rough plans and ill throw in the flights along with it.<\/p>\n
