Planning long term for future Do It Yourself trip.
Is is possible to have kosher meals delivered from Johannesburg to the Place Hotel in Sun City? Is it a good idea to take day safari trips from Sun City into Pilansberg Park or or staying in the Park so much better? Any advice would be appreciated, thanks!

Kings Camp in Timbavati has a Kosher Kitchen and Mashgiach comes from Jburg and stays the whole time. Highly recommend it. The food was insane!

What is the kashrut certification on Kings Camp? Anyone else in this forum stay there?

COVID-19 Discussion Board / Re: Question about mandatory quarantine in NYS

« on: November 04, 2020, 07:37:33 PM »

UPDATED NY COVID TRAVEL RULES: New York is doing away with its quarantine travel advisory list and replacing it with a blanket testing requirement. Instead, anyone traveling to New York from out of state must have proof of a negative test dated within three days of arriving in the state. Travelers must also quarantine for at least three days upon arrival and get another COVID-19 test on the fourth day.

If a NY resident one returns from a week in Florida without testing 3 days in advance, can he simply quarantine at home for 2 weeks? And, do they really check if you’re staying home?

Can you recommend someone who can do a small moving job of a refrigerator from one part of Far Rockaway to another?

In Madrid, there is Pinati Restaurant, and another nearby, a few blocks from each other and close to the heavily guarded shul, where you will need a passport to enter. The Prado Museum is amazing if you appreciate art. Shlomo Hanoka gave us a great day tour from Madrid to Toledo, highlighting the Jewish history in a very meaningful way.

Safety in any City may be a matter of common sense, there are good and bad neighborhoods everywhere, and obviously safer times of day to walk around. Nowadays, unfortunately, it would be safer not to flaunt Jewish identity in unfamiliar areas. Neither City is Boro Park or Yerushalyim.

Hi,
My wife and daughter are doing a trip in May. What is a safe and enjoyable neighborhood for them to book a hotel?

How do i find more info on Bull fighting?

And any must see attractions? I read in this thread that one old shul is just an empty room. She has 3 days, and yes, one day will be with a guide( as it is expensive) so i am looking for other things for her to do that she can do on her own.

Which City? If Barcelona, which I assume from your reference to the old Shul, I recommend Gaudi's colorful Parc Guell as well as La Pedera, a/k/a Casa Mila. The latter was very interesting, I recommend you take the audio tour which starts with an elevator ride to the roof, one of the main attractions, and then walks you down. We enjoyed walking around Barcelona, not so much La Rambla, which is a bit too Times Square touristy, but rather the Passieg de Garcia and nearby streets. We stayed at the Le Meridien right off La Rambla, which was very nice, and we ate at the nearby Restaurant Maccabi, an excellent restaurant with great food, and also took out from Shaq Shuq a few blocks away.
