The Ultimate trip... 5-Dec-2008 At 10:55:10 AM JimboV10

Ok, so I have too much time and resources at work (I'm a travel agent with a reservation system and a wall full of brochures!) and am trying to put together "the Ultimate trip"

Basically what I want is - If you could only take 1 year, and this would be your only big trip, what would you do and where would you go?

Destinations dont matter, but it has to be in a west to east or east to west order to fit in with a Round World airfare...

It will be a mix of climbing and touring

Off the top of my head

Sabah - Do Mt Kota Kinabalu
South Africa - Rocklands and that sport area near by
Geckos tour from Cape Town to Nairobi - then do Mt Kilimanjaro + Mt Kenya
Spain/France/Switzerland (optional as I will be doing a working holiday in the UK after this trip so will have 2 years in Europe)
USA - Gunks/Heuco/Joes/Yosemite/Bishop/Boulder/RRG/Red Rocks
Squamish
Geckos Tour through Central America and South America
New Zealand - Paines Ford and Castle Hill
12 months finishes here
Australia at the end - Frog, Glass House Mtns, Bluies, Nowra, Buffalo, Moonarie, Grampians, Arapiles

Suggestions/best weather times/climbing partners?
