Just to make it clear, my current flight plan (Made cheaper by Star Alliance's "around the world" package! Discounts if you go around the world stopping on at least three continents!) is:
01. Porto Alegre -> São Paulo
02. São Paulo -> Toronto
03. Toronto ->
Vancouver04.
Vancouver ->
Sydney05.
Sydney -> Bangkok
06. Bangkok -> Frankfurt
07. Frankfurt -> Tel-Aviv
(Jerusalem)08. Tel-Aviv -> Frankfurt
09. Frankfurt -> São Paulo
10. São Paulo -> Porto Alegre
The places in bold are the ones where I'm confirmed to stay (visiting Shrike, Steak and Sandwich, respectively). I may stay a bit on any of the other spots if there's anyone in the vicinity who can show me around the tourist spots and find me a cheap place to stay (but I'm inclined to stay a couple of days in Thailand anyway, would be a shame to pass through without knowing at least some of it).
I won't be spending a lot of time in Europe as initially planned because I wouldn't see much of anywhere in such a short time, so I'll do a dedicated Europe trip in the future. But if any HLPers are willing to meet me in Frankfurt, I'll stay a couple of days. Don't know the prices of plane/train tickets around there, but it can't be all that expensive, can it?
