Congrats. When you start searching also look at flights out of ROC and even SYR or doing a paid positioning flight to ORD, EWR or JFK for the award flight. If you're looking at booking paid tickets and then using points to upgrade be sure to purchase the correct upgradeable fare bucket. If you're thinking of redeeming points through the Chase UR portal you should be aware that it is usually a very poor value.
