My lovely wife and I are planning a round the world trip next year. It started out as a plan to go and visit my brothers in Australia. When I remembered that you could go to Australia via the USA and realised we could fit in a visit to MLW’s best friend and my spiritual twin in Oregon the trip rapidly became a round the world excursion to visit various friends, relatives and well wishers.
The proposed route is
New York
Portland, Oregon
New Zealand
Sydney
Adelaide
Home.
Ideally I’d like to avoid any flights longer than about 8-9 hours on account of having a four year old as a travelling companion. I think we can do – get on plane, have some food, sleep for six hours, wake up, have some food, get off plane. But I don’t think long periods of being awake on a plane would be fun for anyone.
So – a question. Or two.
Is there anywhere we can break the journey between Portland and New Zealand? How practical is a stop over in Hawaii?
On the way back, where is good to stop over with a small child and a teenager?
