Around the World 2000

The Burnett family, Duncan (34), Ruth (29) and Erin (1), have been invited to a wedding in California. However instead of travelling direct we have purchased round the world tickets and plan to circle the globe heading east. We will start in South Africa followed by Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and finally the United States. Long distance travel with a toddler is not impossible.
