Hey there teddy. Still in the game I see. Ha. I've been on the back burner and busy as hell.
Waiting till Jan 1. Will have both my wife and I under the 5/24 rule on January 1. Pretty excited about that. Going to hit chase hard again. Will hit Citi pretty hard about 6 months later.
Got the British airways card for the 100k points with $20k spend. Debating whether or not I should even bother with putting the extra $10k to get the companion pass. Only able to use it for spend on BA metal which means routing through Heathrow. Which means a crap load of fees.
Think I'm just going to use it to get first class from HKG to ORD for 140k points and $60. I've got about 100k MR points from the amex platinum card and with the 40% bonus I'll have 2 first class on CX from Hong Kong to ORD. Not a bad deal.
Where are your points taking you these days?

Off peak prices from Nola are 16,250 avios + $145 in fees on the MSY-LHR direct. This is definitely the way to get to LHR these days. You could use your companion pass at least for that. I'd return from Dublin since that has the lowest fees in Europe and a $17 flight from LGW. Remind me, is the BA companion pass valid on Aer Lingus flights? If yes, then that sweetens the deal. MSY-LHR, DUB/SHN-BOS. You'd just have to buy your way back from BOS.

Hey man. Ya, but getting close to that family phase you entered. Saw you posting around and figured you were coming back into the light.
Didn't realize that Avios Cathay angle.
I'm heading to South Africa with my wife and another couple in March. Did a week in Peru last month.
And actually looking at ORD/HKG flights burning these AA miles for next September-ish. Looked like the best route for availability. Will probably bring a friend with me. Not quite sure where I'm heading but Myanmar is moving up.
The wife ruled out Vietnam and a couple other places since she won't be making this trip.
