Mark,

Do you fly any of your legs online on FSHOST or VATSIM?

I am also doing the round the world trip and am about the same stage as you. If you fly online it would be good to arrange a day to fly a route around the same time. I am flying a Navajo which has similar legs and speed to the Mooney.

I am starting think winter may not have been the smartest time to fly around the world in the northern hemisphere as i have had some marginal approaches so far.
