This is fairly straightforward: award travel from NYC-PPT requires 37,500 miles each way in Y, 62,500 miles each way in J, and 72,500 miles each way in F. You could use your 100,000 miles for a one way J award and a one way Y award. Hubby can use his 30,000 miles for bubkis. Your upgrade certificates are only usable on purchased domestic (and Canadian, Caribbean and Central American, but that won't help you here) tickets. All of this information (and more!) is available on aa.com.

[Edited to add: for the sake of clarity, according to aa.com, 500-mile upgrades can be used: "within and between the 50 United States, The Bahamas, Bermuda, Canada, the Caribbean, Mexico, and between the U.S. and Central America."]
