Where to go What to do this Christmas

I understand i am waking up late but have 300k marriott points and 100k Delta to burn. Also have last two weeks of the year vacation.

Family of 4 2 adults and 2 kids (5,10)

Open to anywhere and spend time if it is warm and have some family activities.

Throw some ideas please on how best i can use my points.

My Location: Washington DC

At this point, I would just start looking for availability, and go where the points take me. The AirFrance site has a nice travel award availability tool. It's super high season. Are you planning on buying everyone's plane tickets with points? In that case, you're going to be limited to the US with tix at 25K each. I'm skeptical that delta will have the availability.

Kay, You are right, my options could be limited here. I am counting on Hotel + Air package deal from Marriott to convert some points to delta like 100 - 120k to add to my existing points. That takes me to 220k Delta and can take me somewhere. That also leaves 7 day stay at Cat 7 at marriott.

Now i have to connect the dots to where and how.

I looked at Delta and i could see some convenient dates to St Thomas, USVI.
Anyone can share how it is for a family vacation with kids. Any interesting activities there?

I can see Scrub Island Resort availability for some days..
