Maybe you can borrow some of his URs and transfer to Hyatt for a stay at the Park Hyatt Sydney while you are skipping that birthday? It's only 30k for a room that is going for $1112 AUS. That seems like an awesome return on redemption.Me, too. I've always had terrible jet lag and getting older doesn't help it at all! I'm still tempted to fly to Australia and back just to skip my big bday coming up in 2020 though...
Right now, we couldn't but if DH retires next year we could but the thing is you usually have lots of time or money, not both (at least in my life). So with retirement comes less funding (although this hobby supports my travel addiction, it in no way pays for it unlike some of you super savvy people!) AND we still have 4 dogs and we just can't be away from them too long-it's too expensive, I worry too much and 3 of them aren't happy if we're gone too long. My DD is fiercely independent and wouldn't notice, OTOH
LOL-IIRC you have more than a million Marriott points. I just played a game with myself called What would you do with SFF's Marriott stash? Answer surprising no one: transfer to Delta/United and fly fly fly first class somewhere awesome.
I think I need a Hyatt card for my future visit to Australia...
