34 countries

Here's a map of the second leg. Not really round-the-world but it's a bit longer coming back via North America!!!! Only 38,500 flying miles this leg!

I was asked a question the other day... how many countries are you visiting? I had to put some thought to it, but it looks like 34 countries, although really places like Spain and Canada should barely count... but still... not bad... even though I'm not one of those people who thinks they should visit every country in the world (all 190+, even though there's probably not much to see in Burkina Faso, Tajikistan or Vanuatu) or every continent... SO, here's the list of 34 countries making up Craig's World Tour.
