Hi
I now have a proposed itinerary related to one of my other threads. What are you thoughts on this including the dates?
I will have about 3 1/2 months to go travelling incorporating NAmerica, SE Asia, and Middle East. I intend NAmerica and SE Asia to be the main focus of the trip but not sure if I'm spending too long or too little in some places.
I assume the beuty of a RTW ticket is that the dates can be swapped at will?
Would it be bettwr to swap the Hong Kong and Shaghai bit to after Singapore or doesn't it really matter?

What would be a good amount of time to allocate to the West Coast?
I could spend more time in Canada if needed a sI've only got 3 days in Vancouver at the moment. Any suggestions for that? Reply to this

well vancouver three days is appropriate-any longer and you would get kind of bored as there's not much to see.

It just seems like most of your itinerary for NAmerica focuses on the west coast, so maybe you should spread it around a bit. For example, you only visit one east coast city and none of the central or south. But you might've planned it this way cuz the west coast is definitely more beautiful than the rest

Just my opinion...but do you need three days for las vegas? ...that sounds like one wild (and expensive) leg of the trip Reply to this
