Seriously, you'll be able to have a nice trip, but J redemptions on DL are just ridiculous. Somebody recently reported a 1 million Skymiles ticket.
But I agree, what about New Zealand/Australia? Maybe a side trip to Bali, or if you want something off the beaten path, Borobudur (on my bucket list). (Have no idea if you can get to Java with Skymiles.)
Some other Asian destinations to consider: Penang, Malaysia; Luang Prabang, Laos; anywhere and everywhere in Sri Lanka. I loved Yogyakarta and Borobudur (keep it on your bucket list,
