Round The World and other travels

You have a very nice site, and it has encouraged me to do the same, when I do in fact make my trip around the world this coming May. I have read all that you have added to the site so far. You make me so jealous ... LOL   I am very excited to see what you add in the future and to see how all of your flights turn out. Thanks for the hard work

WOW!! This is absolutely amazing ... to have a fully dedicated website to document this trip ... well done. I'm doing a RTW this fall and would love to set one of these up ... is it hard to do? Thanks for sharing.

WOW! Nice report. Look forward to reading all the upcoming stuff.

A+++

Frankly the best record of a RTW trip online to date. I commend you on putting together such a fantastic trip, having the fortitude to embark on it, and the knowledge to create a great record online. Well done!

This is a terrific report so far. My wife and I were in Singapore in November and stayed at Raffles. We were in the pub on the river right where your photo of the river was taken. Can't wait for the continuing saga. Hope you have a wonderful trip.

What a very well-planned trip. Were you a Gold BA Executive member before you set off? You must be one by now! I'm interested that BA is now using A320s on its EDI-LHR flights. The A320 joins an impressive line-up of past types on this route, such as the 757, Trident 3, Vanguard and Viscount.

But who ate all the pies???

Hi there. I think it's a great idea to have an e-diary. You have it well laid out and organized, I'm looking forward to reading about your journey as it progresses. Happy trails!

It's not my intention to lay it on too thick, but your diary is impressive, addictive, detailed and written with humour and enthusiasm!

Looking forward to reading about your trip over the next few weeks.

What an impressive site. I like your famous quotations in the introduction. I anticipate much pleasure in the coming weeks while reading you diary and seeing your photos - even enjoy seeing the food and hotel pictures. May this voyage be all that you hoped it would be and take care!

Wow ... excellent site! I like how you've listed all the flights and hotels.

You obviously put a lot of work into your site and your trip. Thanks for sharing.

A great site   I am looking forward to reading the reports of the following flights.

Astonishing!! We'll have to have an Edinburgh night out to hear about your adventures when you get home.

If there ever was a vote for a report of the year, the winner would have to do something quite special to beat this report's forecasted result! Great stuff, keep it going!

Very good effort. Impressive layout of the website, easy navigation and good attention to detail. A pleasure to go through the site. Happy travels.

Fantastic site, the trip looks wonderful! Enjoy it! (Am I the first in the guest book? Do I win a prize?) Cheers - safe travels.

Top class.

Good work fella. You do know you've set a precedent for all upcoming trip reports, don't you? Safe travels

Excellent! I'm jealous ...

A great idea! I am curious now! Have a great trip!

Really enjoyed your site! Looking forward to the next instalment.

Thanks for sharing your adventure with such a great website.

What a great idea this is! Isn't the internet brilliant as a communication vehicle. Glad your trip has got off to a great start - look forward to hearing more. Happy travelling.

Wow! Great site and  - I feel confident - a great trip!

I can't find the drinks menu ... help, I'm thirsty. Mother would say that anyone with that much time on his hands obviously needs to get them on me. Impressive mate.

Excellent stuff ... have a good flight!

I'm completely hooked!

It's good to read about your travels. Enjoy yourself!

Truly one of the best trip reports of all time! Look forward to reading on a frequent basis.

WOW! Now that has to be on of the most impressive and complete trip reports I could imagine. Keep up the great work.

Wow! Excellent site, thanks so much. Will do some of your flights myself in summer, hope they'll be equally good.

I bookmarked your site as your reports are 1000 times better CNN's Richard Quest's Economy RTW on-going competitor!

Truly magnificent. Inspiring. I'll check back often - wish you safe travels everywhere!!!

Hi from the green-eyed monster in Cork, Ireland! Sitting in my home-office looking out at gale-force winds and driving rain (remind you of home??! ) Hope you continue to have a ball! I'm v. envious of your trip, having recently experienced BA F (ex-LIS) for the first time. Really enjoying each instalment and look forward to the next ones. Have a safe trip.

Have enjoyed hearing about your adventures down under. Funny to think that your Sunday 14th has ended while mine is just getting underway! Adelaide looked a lot warmer than when I visited in August. Looking forward to seeing how your week ahead in NZ pans out. Cheers for now!

What a great idea! Inspirational. I hope you enjoy your trip and thanks for giving us the website to read. Bookmarked!!!

Very impressed with your website and good to read all your news. Got your postcard from Brisbane today. It's another rainy day in Glasgow.

Fabulous report ... very jealous of you!! Have a wonderful vacation. Will check back later for the rest of the report.

What a great trip! Enjoy reading your descriptions and seeing the pictures. It is a trip I hope to take one day.

Hi there! I am not quite done reading your site, but already my jaw has dropped down to ...

Here!

Well, lower even! Hee-hee ... yikes! Your travelling itineraries really are for me to envy. Sigh ... how I wish to travel as much as you, though I'm very happy you are so lucky. Keep flying and do keep us posted. Have bookmarked your site. 

I just bookmarked your site! This is really one of the best trip reports I have ever seen. Thank you!!!

This is certainly one of the finest examples of text and photography blended into a Trip Report that I have ever seen! A real joy to read so far! Thanks for all your hard work on this report and the website. Have a great trip!!!

Absolutely brilliant report!

Hi, I'm really enjoying your diary & can't wait to see what you do in Sydney (my hometown) and Hawaii. Keep up the good work!

Great site, well made and the flight reports are very good. I am following your trip to the end (green of envy!) Have a safe trip, mate.

Outstanding. Very informative & clearly arranged.

Awesome, better than my lazy work three months ago! Great trip report. Nicely organized on a great website!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Great to have met you in BNE and I'm writing this about 1 hour into your SYD/HNL QF3 flight. Enjoy the AA experience but remember how good you had it Down Under (particularly the Qantas Pubs)!!

We have really enjoyed reading about your adventures. Our paths may have crossed while you were in Maui. We were two of the throng of whale watchers gathering about Lahaina harbor around 6:30 that morning. You really should have joined us. Viewing the humpbacks from a thirty-foot rubber raft is a truly amazing experience. We went 11 1/2 times during our five days in Maui. We experienced engine trouble on trip number twelve and were rescued by another boat. Hope every part of your trip is as much fun as what you have experienced so far.

Fantastic report. Thank you.

Hi RTW Man, A colleague of mine told me about your website. Looks like you're having a braw trip - I've enjoyed reading your accounts of first class travel, which is something I will never be able to afford ... It has brought a wee bit of sunshine to a dreich evening in Croftamie anyway!

Ian, SAH Man (Stay At Home Man)

What a great trip report! I absolutely loved reading every part of it!

Stumbled across your site (via recommendation from frequentflyer.com.au newsletter) and have spent the last three hours reading your entire journey ... and what a journey it has been! Feel like I've been half-way around the world without leaving home Brisbane has certainly cooled down since you were here (it'd want to, huh?) Your diary has been an interesting read ... technology has certainly been a great help for us "voyeurs". Safe travels ... you're on the home straight!

Great reading, still sifting through all the great info and additional websites. Keep up the great work - very informative.

As you're nearing the end of your trip now, I just wanted to add my congratulations and admiration to you for the best trip report I've ever read. It has made me almost feel that I've been on the trip with you! I'm now more determined than ever to do my own RTW trip, have already begun planning, but I'll not be allowed to take 6 weeks off work, so heaven knows when I'll manage to fit it in!!! Thanks again.

Welcome home! Thanks for taking us all along with you, and meeting up with some of us along the way. Looking forward to your next RTW jaunt.

Welcome Home! (Although I'm now sulking a little as I won't have any more trip reports from you in the near future - I have become rather addicted ) What a great trip and the Ultimate Report!! My brother in law and his girlfriend are doing a RTW in Oneworld Economy next month for 5 months from East to West, but will be visiting many of the places you have been, so this is great information for them! This has actually whetted my appetite for such a trip - I may try to do one next year ...

Don't tell me it's over!!! I'm almost inclined to buy you another RTW ticket so I can read more ... well, I said almost! Great job, mate - now enjoy the well earned rest until the next time.

Great report!

Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with all of us drooling over your reports, sitting in our offices green with envy. I really enjoyed living through your experiences, and hope to do my own RTW trip someday soon. Congratulations on putting together such an ambitious journey, and welcome home!

I just want to thank you for a great read over the past few weeks ... the layout (amazing), text, menus, photos ... it was just above and beyond. I was right there with you the entire trip and one day will do my own RTW but until then, I loved every minute of yours.

It looks like a true FTer's dream vacation. Great job on keeping us all abreast of your travels. I've done one Oneworld Explorer before and look forward to the next! It's the best way to travel!

Thanks to frequentflyer.com, I was able to follow your amazing journey from the start and was awaiting your next stop entries on a daily basis sitting in my office. One day I hope to do something similar. Great job on the website and the setup. Thank you for including us in your wonderful trip and giving us the great info  and additional websites. Until next time!

I've just stumbled across your website following the Frequent Flyer link! This is a great job and I can't wait to read all about your adventures! Hope you enjoyed your days in Australia. I'm situated on the east coast (Coffs Harbour) half way between Sydney and Brisbane, a little bit of paradise!   

Very informative site which is educational and very well put together, with a nice touch of humour throughout. Seeing more of the world is something we should all aspire to

Excellent. Best trip details on the Net. Thank you.

Hello there! Yet another foreign venture, eh? I hope it goes well. I'll hear all about it in due course.

Website is sooooo much cleaner and easier to follow - well done that man! I wish I could holiday as much as you do! I have certainly seen the world, but you seem to have made a habit out of it - better habit to have than a few I could think of!

Fantastic site and great photos.

I love your site and refer to it regularly. Like you, I like to optimize my FF benefits.

Thanks for this super site. I am presently trying to plan a RTW holiday for both my partner and myself to celebrate our 60th birthdays in 2006, so your site has been a great help.

Oh my gosh. I just spent an hour and a half reading your RTW diary. This is excellent stuff! Keep it up!

Thanks for letting us look at your RTW entries before we embark on ours. It was extremely helpful and you visited almost everywhere we have planned to go.

Wow, this is fantastic! And a far better read than many of the travel articles in the nationals and a great reference source for those planning visits to the places you’ve visited. Keep them rolling in!

I really enjoyed your trip report. You have the gift of making the readers feel as if they are on the trip with you. Great reading!
