Ariel,

Your description suggests you would like to solve the classic 'traveling
salesman' problem. I don't know that R's spatio-temporal functions are
suitable but open street map apparently can help pick optimal routes and a
web search for linux: traveling salesman problem found many software
solutions.

Travel safely,
