    World trip planning.

    Is it best to travel east west, west east, north south or south north.

    Your views and possible start places?

    Me thinks it would depend on where you're starting from and where you want to go Then there's the time of year to factor in....

    It depends on how much time you have. It's quicker to go east, but you get there sooner if you go west. I took off from Honolulu and went to Thailand and actually got there the day before I left.

    That's in the back of my mind.

    Leave around easter and get back to re celebrate last xmas.

    Looking thru S american map - there is so much worth seeing.
    Maybe forget the 2nd leg and stick with the Americas.

    What ever you do, don't limit your travels to America. In fact, if you really want to gain some knowledge of the world, wiz through Europe and see what life in Asia is all about. Just don't ever go anywhere as a tourist. Dress like the locals, eat their food and learn some of their phrases. Any other approach and you might as well just spend the money on a bigger TV.

    Yep, when you pass the international date line. Problem is it took two days to get back.

    You take with one hand, but then it gets yanked back from the other.
    Now if you really want to travel in time, theres a country in africa somewhere, in there its still 1984-85 as they have some wierdo calendar with an extra month or something.
