Some thoughts to bear in mind when planning the next tour..
These are the criteria I personally used when planning the last couple of tours (the route for WT#3 was largely submitted by Tracker):
1) The duration of each leg should not exceed 02:15 (which is approx. 850nm).
2) There should be some add-on scenery available for the destination (I don't know about you, but hate approaching a "bear-bone" standard airport).
3) There should be a (fairly) good mix of jet and prop legs (check the length of the longest RW at the destination airport before declaring it a "jet"
leg).
4) Try to incorporate challenging approaches ever so often.
And that's about it..
