I'm so glad your family had the opportunity to do this and had a good time without illness or misfortune. I have to say though you're incredibly fortunate to have been able to wrack up the points you did in order to buy the round the world tickets, and accomodations as needed, not to mention having a spare vehicle to sell in order to partially fund the trip. Just some perspective from someone living way below the poverty line.
