Yeah, me too.

Back when I was actively chasing miles and points (i.e., I had a job ) I started out just me and the wife, but it soon expanded into the rest of the crew.

At one point, I had my entire family (5 kids and their SO's) all bundled off to Ireland for a few weeks, pretty much all with miles/points. A couple years later, there were six of us in a little villa in Beaulieu-sur-mer, and then off to Paris and London. More actual cash involved, but still mostly miles/points.

I'm still looking at nearly a million miles and half-million hotel points "in the bank" - but nowhere to go;
