Well thankyou to all for your suggestions. Based on current values I could use my points to fly my wife and I both to a place like California somewhere in the U.S. for 50,000 points. I could than use 50,000 to fly myself to South America but to go to Peru or Chile I'd have to likely have to use United so I'd have to check with the Aeroplan folks regarding milage amounts for StarAlliance partners. Than I could use the remaining 60,000 to get to Europe and than actually buy one other ticket and take my wife on a vacation up the Croatian coast in September. That way I use them all up, get three pretty nice trips and get to take my wife on two of them. Now all I have to do is make some calls, save a few more bucks, and convince the wife that she'd hate South America.

Although the hike to Kilamanjaro is something I should put on my must do list too.
