I agree with earn and burn, however you choose to burn it.
I follow a similar pattern. I try to take a 4-5 week trip once a year and then one or two shorter trips. Last year I did a month in Japan and then in the spring I spent a week in Germany and Austria. About to take off for two weeks in Tokyo, Taipei in Hong Kong, then I'll be spending a month in Vietnam in February.

My family has enough miles and points for themselves though. My father keeps calling me asking what he should do with his 100k Hyatt points.
