Our spending capacity is about $2K per month on normal stuff. Could probably bump that to $3K or more using some tactics like paying rent with CC, etc. Great point.

Thanks for the tip Zolomark and redtop43 about Priceline for hotels. I probably wouldn't have thought of that.

Most important part seems like getting there. I'll try to find good options with Priceline if I can't use points for the whole thing (which likely won't happen).

Thanks!
