Next Vacation - Ideas

[stbaum]

Potentially want to go with DW next Sunday-Tuesday. So something not too far. Would go to Orlando or Miami, but it's rainy there all week....

Didn't really travel much, so I'm open to a lot of places.

Don’t rely on weather channels. It’s tropical weather. It says rain A LOT more than it actually rains. When I was there on chol hamoed it said non stop thunderstorms. It rained maybe a total of 20 minutes in 4 days

Been there as was hoping for somewhere different (and further)
My experience with Copa J is similar to coach 10 years ago!

I never said the J product was GOOD!    Seriously, most people want to stay closer but if you are looking to go farther why not maybe do Sri Lanka (there is a Chabad with food ) and the Maldives? or if you can bring a bunch of frozen food, Dubai and then Maldives.  No activites in the Maldives but you can do activities in the first destination.

Thanks. The whole area seems very rainy. I guess it is the season now. I don't go away often do I don't want it to be ruined

So it looks like we'll be headed to Orlando the following week. It seems there are plenty of SPG hotels? Any recommendations as to which? Is a car recommended?

Great thread.

Ask on Orlando thread but for me a car came out better than Uber. Paid $135 for 4 days. As for the hotel- we stayed at the Sheraton buena vista. Great value. Not the fanciest place around but they upgraded me to a pool view room and it was great.

Looking to fly out West ( from NY Area) around March time. Farthest West I have been is Memphis, TN. Have time to visit two cities for about week altogether.  Ideas? Ideally would like to be close to kosher food and minyanim?

What is in Portland?

What is in Portland?

A lot of annoying hippies? Sorry my family is from there and I couldn’t help myself!

If you’re referring to kosher restaurants, almost nothing. They do have synagogues and Minyanim.

Still trying to decide on Trip in January.  If I go to Australia for 1.5 week, which are the main place to be  (such as Syd, Mel etc)? Part of the trip a nice quiet beach is a must.

Good idea, but what is the weather like in March? Is it nicer than Denver?

No way, its colder and wetter so feels more biting. If it’s 45 and sunny in Denver it feels way warmer and you just need a sweatshirt.  Denver is semi-arid and has as many sunny days as San Diego.
