I have the enviable problem of redeeming 250,000 in AA/BA/One World alliance miles.

Given the research I have done already, i think redeeming miles based on airmiles flown is my best bet. Am I missing anything? The oneworld interactive planner has been a great tool.

Also, am getting overwhelmed by the options...can anybody suggest some other good websites where people discuss RTW itineraries?

I'm interested in traveling to almost every country but need to narrow things down. What I learned from my SE Asia travel is that I liked it best when I settled into a place for at least a couple of weeks instead of always being on the move.
