September: Japan, Korea, China, Vietnam October: Laos, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia The first time I was in SE Asia, I did 2 months : thailand, cambodia, laos, Vietnam. I had to take a couple of flights to make it work.. it was RAPID! 4 months would be better. you would want at least 3 weeks for Japan. 1 - 2 months for china.. etc, are you gone a full 12 months? The problem then is if you want more time somewhere, you have less time somewhere else as the ticket has to be used in 12 months.

etc,

are you gone a full 12 months? The problem then is if you want more time somewhere, you have less time somewhere else as the ticket has to be used in 12 months.

We are updating the above with a rough itinerary, nothing written in stone and we are willing to deviate, but our initial thought is to layout where we want to go with some date parameters. Initially we have set 10 days for each country, understanding we can add/subtract as needed. <strong>That is a great question though, and I would appreciate your insight. How do you go about the planning process, determining what countries, when you will be there and so on?</strong> Would love to get yours and others thoughts! You're right, we've never done the round the world type trip before, although we have traveled quite a bit. Admittedly, we tend to be the "see and do as much as you can" type folks. ;-) Thanks for the comment Rick.

You just can not make it in such speed uless you have a very superficial view of each place even if you going very fast it seens like very dificult task.No way you can go Japan,korea, China and Vietnan in one month, only tour groups do it. I have been travelling the world for more than 20 years and you can check with other experienced travellers. It is not worth going many places so fast.
