There was a pretty nice way to spend 50k avios (easy transfer of MR's) to fly 2 rnd trip from boston to dublin in the past on Aer Lingus. I think it's all still do-able.

From dublin you can fly or sail/rail anywhere in europe for cheap (after checking out Ireland of course).  We had a blast.

Enjoy!

Thanks Elim,

Ireland is on my bucket list for another time (older daughter spend a semester there)

We want to fly into Rome from DC and then go up the cost and then travel to Frankfurt and Amsterdam, perhaps a rail.
