Some time in 2008, mid spring (for Great Britain), I will be going to England to meet my first grandchild. Needless to say this is an exciting prospect.

The trip from Guam to England is long and requires many plane changes. This too is expected. Previous trips put together using the computer have taken me to the USA and England via the USA. But, from Guam, that is the long way to England. I'm looking for another route.

I have a friend and professor to claims it would be shorter and cheaper to go west from here over the Asian subcontinent and then north from, say, Dubai. But then we run into a problem.

All the traveling websites that I know of are focused on traveling to or through the USA. I need to figure out how to plan a trip from Guam to England without crossing the American continents. Of course, one of the most important requirements is that it must be cheap.

Any suggestions?
