Thank you for the warm welcome and I'm glad to join the group!
I certainly will take all of those recommendations into consideration. We really didn’t think about how all 3 are beach destinations, so thank you for pointing that out. We are indifferent on, so potentially that location can be changed out for another on the trek home. Have already seen Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Macau. Do you have any recommendations there? I’ve heard Singapore is a good one.
United we certainly could do as well. Houston is a short 3 hour drive from us where they have a hub. Thanks for the note regarding Athens and Aeroplan, I must look into that as business class sounds amazing. That’s definitely the way we wish to go.
