OK, so this is where all of you come into play. We are budgeting 60 days, with a rough itinerary heading west: China, 14 days; Uganda (or somewhere in East Africa), 7-10 days; Croatia, 7 days; and Spain, 10 days. Possible stops between: Delhi, Istanbul, Cairo, northern Italy, southern France. Right now it's all still debatable.
We're looking at buying around the world tickets from Airtrek.com. So, the first question--has anyone out done a trip like this, or can recommend a ticket broker. We're not dead-set on Airtrek, it just happens to be the one we know about.
The other thing is train travel. We are thinking about extensive train travel in China, and possibly making the journal from Istanbul, through Croatia and then Madrid via train. My first instinct had been to by rail passes ahead of time, but I'm starting to read that it's better (i.e., cheaper) to buy single leg tickets once you are in your departure country. Again--love to hear if anyone has had any experience with it.
And if any of you local folks have travel books for any of these places, we'd love to borrow them. We have several, but books from different publishers (Frommers, Fodor, Lonely Plant, etc.) is always helpful.
