Noise cancelling headphones made flying so much more tolerable, yes!
It is usually just immediately prior to the trips. The night before, the morning before. Paradoxically, the next "big" trip I want to go on, I want to have little bits of exposure - nothing more than a 8-10 hour flight at any given port, and to spend genuine time at each location. It'll be a big "round the worlder", but won't be for many years.
Likely to be
Home -> Singapore (few days) -> Japan -> Somewhere in Europe -> Italy -> Belgium -> Portugual / Spain -> UK, then some sort of meandering route back home to Australia. A big ol' All at once, once in a lifetime sort of jaunt. Meticulously planned and organised - not to "hit" the tourist things, but to "break it up".
That sounds frankly fantastic. The trip of a lifetime, for sure. I hope you document it on Hive when it happens :)
If Hive is still around, sure :) Otherwise, it will still get documented, somehow. Easier to do it as you go, than to have a task that will occupy the rest of my life after the fact.
