Lightbulb Small Global trip Suggestions needed

Having now had a few beers and thinking on some crazy idea.
If you were going to plan a Global trip from Uk to new Zealand and then somehow island hop over to Chile over to Falkland island then up east coast of South America through USA/ canada and then along the top back to Uk

Plane will / Would be a single engine cruise approx 150 kts with 8 hour endurance

one other little thing VFR

What would be the best month to leave Uk due to adverse weather enroute.
From New Zealand would it be possible to Island hop or would it be better to go south to Antartica and refuel at the various bases then up to Argentina/ chile ?

How would you do it ?

Also please none of the wouldn't do it in a single engine etc just positive help

Cheers
