PEK the great wall of China.
Makes sense, PH is supposed to be amazing as well. How long do you think I need there? Flight from SIN gets in at 2:40, stay one night?

Great wall of China is a morning to late afternoon trip, make sure you go to the spot where you have mountain/ wall gliding.

I would leave for HKG the next evening I think so I'd be able to do it in the morning.

What's more recommended? Rome or Vienna? 3-4 day trip from Israel.

Gonna be in Israel in January with a week to play around with. I'd like to leave TLV on motzash/sun morning & get back to NYC on Friday.

I'm currently leaning towards Sri Lanka but the more I look the more destinations I see.

Ideas welcomed please

Need some help. Dw and I want to take a nice trip in January. She wants to do Sunday-Thursday to be home for DB on Shabbos. (We live in NY). She wants to go to a warm place where we can relax most of the time. I was thinking Maui but I would want to spend more time there. Perhaps Palm Springs would be a good idea. Zika destinations are not an option. TIA

I'd do Phoenix before Palm Springs. There is way more to do and awesome kosher food.

Does the rancho mirage bbq still run by PS? kosher food in SoCal isn’t hard to come by. I wouldn’t view food as a disadvantage of PS compared to Phoenix
