I have been on an assignment for work for the past two years in London. In sorting out my repatriation to the U.S. I've managed to secure a five week paid hiatus (just a good use of vacation balances) in late May and June. We're already booked on two week cruise, but are trying to sort out what to do for the other three weeks.
I have 320k miles available to me, which makes most trips a pretty good opportunity. I would like to travel business class or preferably first class (although I realise this is very limited with SkyTeam). Any suggestions?
We've been to French Polynesia and Mauritius (I would go back to the prior, not the latter) and are looking for more exotic ideas. Since my Company will fly me back from LHR to EWR, I can do my redemption from either the U.S. or Europe.
Anyhow, don't need specific dates or anything, but would welcome any thoughts anyone has (just trying to brainstorm some ideas). We've come up with Hawaii, Southeast Asia, returning to French Polynesia, etc.
Sorry for the vague post, but appreciate your input!
I used miles for a trip to Japan in BF on CO and had a glorious time...what a wonderful country.
