Special January 2011 fares for multi-stop tickets on BootsnAll

It’s still difficult to believe it’s already 2011 (although so far I haven’t made the mistake of writing January 2010 as the date anywhere), but time keeps chugging forward. And you may not be surprised to learn that this is one of the most popular travel planning times of the year. As soon as the hectic holidays are past, people turn their attention to where they’re going to go next – whether it’s a 2-week trip or a 6-month adventure.

If this January is when you intend to get down to business and start planning your round-the-world trip in earnest, then it’s likely one of the big things you’ll need to figure out is just how much this RTW trip will cost you. Remember Rolf’s recent RTW trip with no luggage? Well, a BootsnAll writer sat down and figured out the real costs of duplicating that trip (you can carry a bag, and take longer than a few weeks!) in his article “The Real Cost of Traveling the World Like Rolf Potts.”

Of course, as is noted in that article, Rolf went to a bunch of places that are more expensive – you can reduce the cost of your RTW trip just by choosing your route carefully. And the special RTW tickets this month all include lots of budget-friendly destinations that will keep RTW travelers on the road longer.
