Last week I began this two-part series describing the joys of private air travel.

I teased you with a golf-centric itinerary where you journey around the world by private jet, playing top courses that as a golf aficionado you have only probably heard of, or seen on TV.

This week, the itinerary is here!

Keep in mind that your own journey need not be about golf, but it is about YOU; your journey need not be all private air travel, but we will be your journey.

At the end I'll mention more about that. In the meantime, review this wonderful itinerary and think about that golf-lover in your life. Maybe you'll end up going around the world after all.
