I'm going to guess that the Starwood properties will still be off-limits in early '18. (If they aren't, I have two booked Travel Packages that I might look to move!) It's beginning to smell like the "single program" date is 2019.

I've redeemed a TP in Barcelona: one of our favorite TP redemptions ever. That's a city that can hold one's attention for a week...plus you can throw in a beach day or other daytrips (by train or car) as desired. Multiple good Marriotts there, both in middle and high categories.
