Ok, so I was working notice on one job before starting another. Today I've been released 4 weeks early!
So, I really really want to go away - obviously VS is my first choice, but what could I spend my miles on - any thoughts? 2 of, one week min, must be sunny.
Can't figure it out - any help/suggestions would be much appreciated.

If it was me, I'd go to Las Vegas.
Mind you, you'll probably need to go via LAX at this late stage. Maybe do a few days in LA, hop over to Vegas and blow the kids' inheritance.

That's not a bad idea at all... is there anyway I could use those 59k miles to make it better/cheaper/etc.???

What about Miami - I think if you booked online, you could have a PE for 59,000 or and Economy to San Franciso as the dollar is so good at the moment, and the weather is great at the moment.
If not must be Hong Kong - just an amazing place and cheap once you are there

Hmmm... 59k & two people.
Well, depends on the class you want to travel.
If you want Upper, maybe buy 1 x PE and upgrade to Upper for 40k + 1 x normal Upper fare
In PE, you could buy two Economy and upgrade both for 20k each
Or, buy one full fare PE and get a companion fare for 30k
MilesPlusMoney will set you back 7,500 miles each, and there even looks like there's availability in PE at about £525 + tax.

Of course you could always use them on a trip to Orlando and stay at Villa Key Breeze;)

If you stay "near the magic" is it nearly as good?

Yup - seeing < $700 a week off season... is it nice? Is it RCI/II affiliated (got a Cameron House week we haven't used up just sitting in the RCIspacebank)?
