I have been to Singapore and Hong kong and I loved them both in their own way but want some where different for my trip next March and return in April.
I only began to travel a few years ago and I am in my "middle years" now and I am trying to "catch up" on every where I could have gone when younger!!!!, I like hostels rather than hotels, prefering to spend money on activities rather than accommodation. Ideas welcome.

Dont fly via asia, you can go there any time, but how often do you get the chance to go to somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. This is one of those chances so take it.
Fly via the US or Canada and stop of on the west coast just to break the journey up if you want to. Then, depending on your route you can stop in Hawaii, Fiji, Tahiti, etc etc.

If you go the other way you could go via the USA and stop off at Los Angeles. Cheap when you are there as the dollar is high against the pond at the moment. You could then have another stopover in Fiji or NZ - both good places. Going the otherway, Dubai is an option but not particulary a cheap one.
have a lovely time

Affectionately named "Marvellous Melbourne" throughout the gold run of the 1850s, the name remains applied today for Australia's second largest town Melbourne, a town that you could visited with hotelbye . Situated on the banks of the Yarra River, nearby the entrance to Port Phillip Bay, Melbourne is a modern city steeped in history. With huge wealth created from the regional goldfields, grand buildings were created through the city. Several structures however stay nowadays, and Melbourne is regarded as having more samples of Victorian architecture than some other town in Australia. One place you can't miss in your visit to Melbourne could be the Southbank and Arts Centre Melbourne. Situated on the banks of the Yarra River this place is really a culturally rich interest for visitors. Southbank promenade is full of indoor/outdoor cafés, restaurants, and live entertainment. Quickly familiar by its spire, the Arts Centre includes a selection of theaters and places such as the State Theatre, Playhouse, Fairfax Theatre, and Hamer Hall, the premier performance space for the revered Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.

My picks would be:
via Far East: Dubai (Airport Meridien Hotel) and Singapore (Phoenix Hotel). All on Emirates, and breaks the journey up nicely into 3 flights of around 7 hours or less. Emirates now flies to Perth as well as Melbourne and Sydney.
Via America: Suggest Fiji (outrigger Reef Hotel) and Los Angeles (Airport Hilton).
OR over the Pole to Sydney via Tokyo. Jal used to offer free Tokyo stopover but not sure if they still do.

In Sydney you are able to benefit from the normal beauty. From unspoilt beaches to community gardens and, of course, the shining harbour, Sydney is really a town worth visited and with hotelbye you could have the chance to do that. The Sydney Harbour Bridge or "Coathanger," whilst the people contact it is among the places you ought not skip in your journey here. That place was the city's best-known landmark prior to construction of the Opera House. Reinforced by substantial dual piers at each conclusion, it absolutely was integrated 1932 and stays the world's biggest steel arch connection, linking the harbour's north and south shores in one bend climbing 134 metros over the water. Along their length work two railway lines and seven shelves for path traffic, the direction of which may be diverse according to traffic flow. Also, to understand about the fascinating history of the bridge's structure you can visit the memorial in the south-eastern pier.

Sounds like you like Asia, so why not try stopping over in Bangkok and then have yourself a bit of a journey. Go from Thailand to Cambodia, up through Laos then back to Bangkok, all in about 3 or 4 weeks (for an ok look), then continue on your way to Oz.
Else you could go via KL and enjoy some time in Malaysia, easy enough to journey up one coast and back down the other.
Both ideas give you loads of opportunity to see many historical places, enjoy the fabulous food, and learn about the cultures, oh and plenty of cheap accommodation along the way.
Enjoy, no doubt you will :-]

The Philippines, it's cheap, beautiful (outside the main cities) and very friendly, not at all dangerous unless you want to go to the Jolo island group way down south.
Bad press is something that plagues this country, mostly because the National press is so drama hungry, but the foreign press corps picks these stories up and pushes them around the world. I've lived here for 14 years and have never had a problem, not even when sailing around the islands with my yacht.
Don't believe what you read, pass by this country and see for yourself.

Kuala Lumpur is excellent. I stayed in a luxury hotel for £20 per night (king sized bed, en suite etc), although you can stay in an absolute hovel of a hostel for around £2 per night. £2-3 buys you a cooked meal in a restaurant, 50p a coffee, £7 an hour long massage...
Go to the Batu Caves as they are well worth seeing and again cost hardly anything. I only spent one full day there and I plan to spend 3 or 4 days there when I next journey downunder.
Have a fantastic trip wherever you go.

I'd suggest Japan.
Obviously a teeny bit longer flying time than via Singapore or HK but you can get some cheap flights going that way back to Australia.
And it's worth it for the experience.
