Who needs the hassle of trying to keep up with airports, flights, hotel bookings, rental car pick up and drop offs? The Busy Woman doesn't have to when she keeps her travel itenerary information handy in her Daily Planner. This useful sheet doubles as a great item to copy and leave with child care providers, business partners, and spouses making you more accessible when you are out on the road.

Itenerary Critique

My wife and I are planning a RTW trip to commence January '07. We'd appriciate any input from travelers experienced in the regions we're scoping out, or suggestions on alternatives. I'm particularly interested to see if people feel we're giving each area enough time for adiquite exploration.
I wondered if this is random order by the way. I would do after new zealand and australia, China first. Maybe fly with Cathay pacific to hongkong, from cairns? Then 2 months in China and in Beijing you can manage your tickets for the transsiberian railway. Maybe do the mongolian part and stop for a week or so to do some travel there?
If you are not tired of travelling by train, there are trains from moscow through Kazachstan to Tashkent. After visiting Uzbekistan, you can travel overland through Kirgistan or Kazachstan to Western China and do the Karakorum highway to Pakistan and then crossing to India. From Mumbai I think there are sufficient flights to Mombasa or Nairobi for sure.
Eastern africa is probably the best for safari, just as south africa by the way. As I may suggest, fit in Namibia for that reason, but also because of the really nice landscapes, really, you won´t regret it. If you rent a car in south africa, it´s not that expensive anyway. Uganda has the best chances of seeing the gorillas, but try to buy tickets for that about 3 months ahead if you are able.

Zimbabwe is a great land. The falls are one of the wonders of the world and the wildlife was once plentiful.Once the president dies it may become a good place to visit again. I revisited the place this past year and was taken aback by how much the place has changed for the worse for the locals since that crackpot took over the government. The guy hates whites so much he is willing to kill his own country just to get them all out.
Worked at Asir Academy in the Southwestern corner of Saudi. Explored the area, mountains, desert and dived in the Red Sea. I think Asir is best place to be if you have to live in Saudi. The Farasan Islands are a facinating place to visit and the diving is incredible. Contrary to what most people think, the Saudis were some of the most warm and welcoming people we have met.
I have visited several times and have never been disapointed with this incredible country. From Krueger park on the East to Cape Town in the West this is a great place to visit. So far we have visited Krueger park, Pilansberg, the Garden Route, the Midlands Meander, Sun City, Oudtshourn, Cape Town and the winelands and have driven through all but the Northwest province. Such diversity in geography and cultures in one country makes it a must on a travel itenerary.

The Travel Checklist

Even if it sounds whacky and stupid and unachievable I think you should still write it down, because one day you just may do it! Then you can cross it off as another major feat accomplished. I can't explain it but there's a weird and wonderful feeling associated with dreaming about something you have always wanted to do, and then finally accomplishing that dream/goal. Then crossing that item off the list gives you this eerie feeling and sense of accomplishment.
If you're like most people, and that includes me, then you probably have a tendency to over-pack your suitcase every time you travel. Too many shirts, pairs of shoes, underwear, pants, etc. etc. This happened to me the last time I went to China, so this time I'm going to take a leaf outa the ol' chapter as a lessoned learnt from last time.
I thought I would make myself a Holiday Travel Checklist so I won't make the same mistake twice. Feel free to use or modify this list to suit yourself if you ever feel the need to use it. I hope it can save you some time and effort from carrying the extra bits and pieces around with you only to cart it all the way back home after a few weeks :-p

How Closely Do You Follow Your Itenerary?

I don't like following an itinerary. I go on vacation to relax and enjoy a slower pace. I hate to feel like I'm constantly rushing to get from point A to point B. I get enough of that in everyday life. I prefer going on vacations where I can do what I decide to do when I decide to do it. When I did the Macinac Island trip, every minute was planned out for me. I enjoyed it, it was beautiful and amazing, but I'd of preferred having dinner when I was hungry instead of when my itinerary said "dinner time". And I would have preferred getting up when I woke up instead of setting my alarm for when my itinerary said "get up". Next time I do Macinac Island, I'll plan the trip myself instead of going to a specially planned event.
