Taking bets on the first leg of TAR17?
georgiapeach:
And maybe no Australia either. :(

Oh, you're right about that! Though they did narrowly miss the trouble in TAR 14 when they closed down Suvarnabhumi Airport; I was in Phuket and Bangkok a week after them and all the flights were screwed up...
Not too many choices then? We'd be seeing quite some South American winter I suppose?

Perhaps the first time we have SA in back-to-back installments?
I'm thinking that TAR might actually look at North America and say, "Hey we haven't been here in a while..." Canada would probably be first on that list.

Surprise me, CBS!

And I guess they'll give North and South Korea a miss what with all the sabre rattling going on...

The interesting thing is that most of these problems are relatively recent developments (Thailand, volcano, etc) -- I wonder how much tweaking TPTB have had to do at the eleventh hour. No Australia would really be a shame -- it's an available location with lots more to see and a long gap between visits.
mjriches2005:
Europe is fine now, besides the Iceland volcano ash hasn't been much of a talk now. The Heathrow airport thing is due to the British Airways f.a. strike. I agree with the Thailand situation and the situation between the Korea's. We could see Australia again since season9, or some of the Pacific Island nations too. South America would be possible or not since the Chile quake, Brazil could get a revisit again and South Africa as well.
