General remarks about your flight:
Incredible experience; 2018 around again, only taking more time. Mission for 2015 was to visit as many of the 20,000 students possible that have been participating on my flight planning since 2010. Earthrounders and especially Carol Ann Garratt are instrumental in my success. I am forever grateful and wish to return the knowledge to others with the dream for flying around the world. Thank you.
Advice to other pilots:
Planning is crucial listen to experienced Earthrounders. Enjoy the planning as much as the flight. It will take twice as long for planning as you initially think, it is worth every moment for a great experience. Take as much time as possible on the flight, dont rush.
