Question Helis From USA-->EIRE

Well People,
Can anyone gimme some info!! My company in eire are importing 2 Bell222`s from california which we have just purchased @ a good price. Now we priced shipping them over here. We are talking massive money for shipping alone. On top of that we would have to get the helis from the west coast to the east coast and then get the blades taken off which is a big job in these machines as you have to take the whole head off together. One blade is big enough on its own. But two and the head together!!!!!! Then we have to do the reverse back here. As well as the time issue.. We have decided to fly them back. Some experience it will be. We have the plan nearly finished and we have 2 ferry tanks winging there way from oz as we speak as the trip from Canada to Greenland is 4 hours approxxx! The trip will be
(not getting into detail) West coast USA--> East coast USA--> Canada--> Greenland--> Iceland--> Faroe Islands--> Scotland--> Eire. I just want to know has anyone done anything like this before and have they any good stopover points in any of these places. Any help of info would be a massive help as we are going in2 this as all fresh fish. But it should be good. Thanks in advance!!!
