So that's my biggest issue, not sure yet. Told me last year he doesn't wanna do the beach anymore haha, so I was thinking doing somewhere in Europe, we're both huge history buffs. Rome possibly?

I would be very interested in that, still researching, but can't hurt!

Thanks for the site tip, hadn't seen that yet! I did have an Amex when I was a student, took a look, offer was for 60K after 3K spend, so not quite that good, but better than the offer on the site (40K/3K).
