Did you end up doing this?
Can you offer and advice?
I want to do exactly that, Looking to rent a RV and do a Road Trip with young kids out of NYC for 5-7 days.
Any advice appreciated.
Tia!
There is a motorhomes/RV thread in On the Road that might be more useful to you.

If its not burned to the ground by then. Watch the news much lately?
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Think of CLE-MCI on Thurs, catch the Indians-Royals game and try out the new kosher stand on Sunday, see the total eclipse on Monday, and fly to Rome for 2 nights before flying home for Shabbos.

Thoughts? Better ideas?

First half: like.
Second half: flying to Rome for 2 days with kids is nuts. Either do Europe for longer, or do something closer and less elaborate, like an interesting city or something (San Antonio, for instance).

Could really go anywhere or stay for Shabbos for that matter as well. I'd like to go to a place that has kosher food though.

Put FCO in there as a placeholder because there was good J space there :)
Haven't done any research about bringing kids there.

This week or in the summer? I'd do the eclipse in BNA in August for the best view. Get some pointers from SF in how to take pictures. Rent a house for the weekend.

Why is BNA any better than S. Joseph, MO?

I'd prefer to see it outside a city but you could do that near st Joseph - similar to outside Nashville by center of path. The benefit is you could check out a different city. I'm sure you've been to mci a lot of times with the kids.

4-for-1 trip, see the out-laws, try the new Royals kosher stand, catch a Tribe game, and see the eclipse.

Does BNA even have kosher food?

MCI is better than BNA for the eclipse due to the smaller chance of clouds.

I'm going to make a thread soon about the eclipse, I feel like I've had this conversation too many times now :P. Let me put some consolidated info out.
