Just a quick update:
Thanks for all of the help! I eventually booked through United online and was able to put together an itinerary for 70k miles and $78. Although the first day of travel is rough (very limited saver award options) I am pretty happy that i was able to find routes back home in our miles price range. Here is how it looks....CLE-YYZ-PEK-HKT...and for the return....HKT-BKK-NRT-ORD-CLE...For only my second award booking i think i did ok....any thoughts?
