Where should I visit?

Duncan Riley> All things being equal in about 2-4 weeks The Blog Herald will be sold to a new owner, and assuming the tax man does’nt take a massive cut I’ll have the ability, for the first time in my 30 years, to travel north of the equator.

Basically, there is a “bloggers” cruise set to depart from Miami in October with speakers including Scoble, Searls, and b5′s own Jeremy Wright to name but a few (the site isn’t live yet), and I’d really like to be on it, and so would a pile of b5media bloggers as well, and I’d like nothing more than to laze on a ship and finally get to meet some of the b5media bloggers as well.

This is were it gets interesting: its actually cheaper for me to buy a round the world ticket with Qantas than it is for me to fly directly to Miami for the cruise. So where should I go. I’m looking at the Tier 1 Economy off peak at $2549 AUD excluding taxes. Certainly I’d like to visit b5media bloggers, but despite being the most diverse blogging network in the world I’ve still got some gaps. Where should I go? It’s got to be blog related, and its got to go one way across the planet, and I’m happy to speak at anything you’ve got planned.

    I think it’s hysterically funny that, after all the bashing you’ve done of SixApart, Typepad and Mena herself, you’re now a SixApart affiliate and pimping Typepad.That makes me smile.

    Duncan, please stop in Japan on your way to North America. If you can spend a day or so in Tokyo, I’d like to meet up.

    Jeremy, please send me cruise info too. Sounds fun.

    Darren,
    If you cross the Northern US, I’d be pleased to buy you a glass or champagne or whatever you like at the top of the Hancock in Chicago. October’s long before the cold weather sets in. :)

    Have great trip.
