You can use 17.5K miles in coach per person to get back to the mainland on the 2nd trip. Or pull 20K UA miles per person to get back.
@:-) Good thinking. I didn't realize the OP was (partly?) from IAH. Assuming there's an interest in the 2nd trip, that could a very efficient way to book it...knowing that a cheap Dallas-Houston segment should be easy to buy.
