I'm a consultant for a software company and all of my travel will be to new customers, so I have no way to predict where they will be, other than knowing that my group handles Europe and North America. It just depends on which customers we acquire and which projects I get assigned to. For projects in Europe, it may be once a month for up to 6 months or longer. For projects in the US, it could be two or three roundtrips per month.

As far as redemption, I don't have any set plans other than my desire to use award miles for family vacations, either to the west coast of the U.S. or to Europe or the Caribbean.
