    A1: How little do I have to fly and how much can I travel by land #rtwchat

    A1: For our trip, we chose 5 must-see destinations that shaped our route. We then planned around those and our budget. #rtwchat

    A2 I try to hit the same sort of weather together so I dont have to constantly change hoodies for bikinis in the backpack #rtwchat

    A2. It should be a bigger consideration. Egypt in September wasn't fun. #travelfail #rtwchat

  11. @BootsnAll Something to consider. I don't mind rain but humidity. Nearly suffocated in BKK! Cold beer helps #rtwchat http://pic.twitter.com/uQQROVMp

  12. 3.  High season, low season, or shoulder season?  Why?

  13. CareerBrkSecret
    Jeff Jung@CareerBrkSecret
    A3 Prefer low season. Sometimes shoulder season means no season. #rtwchat

  14. BarefootNomads
    Micki & Charles@BarefootNomads
    @BootsnAll Shoulder season! Discounts, few crowds, and most attractions are open. #rtwchat thebarefootnomad.com/travel-tips/wh…

    A3: shoulder or low if you can for big tourist spots. High is fine for less popular places that won't have a major price hike#RTW #RTWchat

    A3: Shoulder for sure. Less people, better rates, and still great weather #rtwchat

    A3 shoulder, quieter, but still able to experience it. Not too busy or quiet, not too expensive but things are still open! #rtwchat

    We loved low-season Croatia: €18 rooms & clear beaches twooregonians.com/2012/06/apartm… RT @BootsnAll Q3 High, low, or shoulder season? Why? #rtwchat
    Wed, Jul 25 2012 12:50:49

  19. 4.  RTW plane ticket or point to point?  Why?

  20. twoOregonians
    Bethany & Ted@twoOregonians
    A4 We paid cash for miles to purchase Star Alliance RTW tickets: super-cheap. Savings made it worth it. Otherwise, point to point #rtwchat

    A4: Point to point, but you should travel by land as much as possible. Infinitely more interesting than flying. #rtwchat

  22. CareerBrkSecret
    Jeff Jung@CareerBrkSecret
    A4. Depends. I had a ticket for the main stops with lots of point to points in between. #rtwchat
