Here is the actual final itinerary I followed. I left from Dulles airport near Washington D.C. on May 25, 2005. I returned to the US on May 30, 2006 at JFK airport in NYC. That brings my trip total to 370 days in which I visited 23 countries. I spent the most time in Thailand with a total of 55 days. 29 of those I was in Bangkok, which is the single place I spent the most time on my trip.
