What a Trip!

An acquaintance of mine from Australia just sent me a description of the trip that he and his wife are taking this year:

We are on a 59 day holiday, originally to go on the Alaska Cruise and I arranged a week's timeshare exchange into Banff, it then grew as Australia is so far away from Europe & America it is not worth going for a few weeks. We purchased round the world air tickets as I have now decided never to fly longer than 12 hours, prefer 10 or less, in so doing we arrange a few extra stopovers, Johannesburg, South Africa with 4 days at Sun City, then Paris 3 nights, then to Boston where we join a 13 day Globus Tour up to Quebec, and the cities along the St. Lawrence, Niagara Falls, Lancaster (Amish), Washington DC, and finish in New York City where we have 7 days on our own, the fly to Calgary for a day, pick up a car and have 7 days Banff, Rocky Mountaineer train to Vancouver, 2 days Blue Horizon Hotel prior to Cruise, then 5 more days on return, fly to Honolulu 4 nights, Auckland 3 nights then Perth.

Our trip starts 20 May , finishes 18th July, we arrive Vancouver 26th June, Cruise starts 28th and returns 4th July and we have another 5 nights in Vancouver. Looking forward to Vancouver as have had many good reports.

Talk about "packing a lot in"! I don't know about you, but I was absolutely exhausted just reading this!!
