---------------------------------
While vacationing in The Falkland Islands a knock on your door awakens you from a restful sleep. You receive a challenge from a long time friend. With his deep pockets and sense of adventure he challenges you to fly around the world. Not just any flight of course but Hopping Round the World. Your goal is simple. Stay alive and get to the final destination point wherever that may be. Your biggest fear is the unknown; weather, airports, equipment failures, etc... You are provided all the equipment to complete this challenge. The plan is laid out and your first adventure begins.
TIP. Trust ATC. It will guide you perfectly around terrain in FS2004. Make sure you have the correct altimeter settings especially when landing with low visibility.
CAUTION: If you change aircraft, remember to pay attention to the passengers weight and baggage. Each leg is flown with 2 pilots and four passengers and some luggage. Increasing passengers count, weight, and cargo may cause you to crash on takeoff because at times the aircraft flown is quite large for the airport visited. Sometimes, a full load capacity is thrown into the mix. Don't let your guard down.
Each leg offers some surprises; sometimes the weather is good at takeoff and terrible at landing or vice versa. Adding to the uncertainty, you may not have been to this airport before and must be ALERT during these critical phases of flight.

Pack 8 Highlights
Can a Boeing 777-300 do that? Find out if you can in The Florida Keys. Ahhhhhhh, for the first time ever you'll notice a default AI DC3 in FS2004. Where? Havana, Cuba. Look for it before departing the gate area. With a couple of United States stops behind us, its on towards the hot destination of spring break in Cancun, Mexico. Now in Central America, we venture to an airfield with no markings or lights whatsoever. Good thing it was a daytime landing. Looking at my charts, we have some dicey approaches upcoming for Central America. I hope the weather is above IFR conditions during our operations there. Once we complete the many legs in Central America, its back to the USA before heading up towards Canada and Greenland.
