Long time thread reader first time poster-

My wife and I are new to the rewards game. We have built up 180k UR and would like to use them on a roughly 2 week trip to Scotland and Ireland. We are based out of Minneapolis, MN. We are thinking of going in the Fall (september-october) but are open to suggestions from more experienced travelers.

Ultimately- we both are a bit overwhelmed by the options for using our rewards points and are looking for some guidance. Suggestions for airlines to look into? hotels?

Really any advice would be greatly appreciated!
