hi!
im planning on travelling in 2008 and although i want to keep my options open and dont want a set itinerary, i do have a rough idea of where i want to go.
as im from the uk, i thought the best place to start would probably be europe. italy and greece are two places i would like to go as i have been around some of europe already. from there i plan to go to asia and do the whole india, china, laos, thailand, cambodia thing!
but my real dilemma is how to get to asia from europe. is it easiest/ best / cheapest just to get a straight flight to india or one of the above, or to travel through the middle east? i have tought of another option, that being africa after europe, but would that leave me too far from asia?
andy help/tips/ advice would be greatly appreciated!!

thanks

sean
