Just general ideas of the best way to use my points, I would like to visit Australia or maybe the Caribbean.
...is Virgin Atlantic 50k plus $450 worth a first class ticket to London one way non stop from Orlando?

depending on time of year you plan to do the Virgin Atlantic trip in Summer as you said it sounds like a good deal. Winter not so much. Consider low cost like Ryan Air to France or Italy and the train to Milan or even train from London.

I don't know about that. After doing 3 weeks in Australia and 2.5 weeks in New Zealand we liked Australia more. New Zealand is great for outdoors things and if your ok with traveling long distances by car/bus but if you want to do a few cool things with driving or a few quick flights then its Australia. Yes prices are better in New Zealand but Australia has a lot of great things. The better thing would be to do both.

This is the kind of really good use of miles I am interested in. My home base is Orlando. I do not care where I go, I want to see things I have not seen. This is a free one way on american.
