On The Road / Re: New Marriott Autograph property in Israel (Publica Isrotel - Herzliya Pituach)

« on: October 27, 2017, 07:03:03 AM »

Fascinating. I was there on a Marriott reservation. Great Hotel!!! I was thinking of writing a review. But now even though their website shows them as a property. See: https://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/tlvak-publica-isrotel-autograph-collection/

You cant book them. Leading me to believe that they were already dropped.

Is the Hyde Park Winter Wonderland appropriate for a Frum family? i.e. it seems to be very Christmas themed and all the reviews seem to say that it puts them in the "Christmas spirit". Any comments?

Yes. My biggest concern here is that its the holiday season. I dont quite know how London functions during that time of year. Will all the restaurants be open? would I be able to order delivery on those days?

"Chabad of Venice offers a Kiddush after synagogue services. Both Friday night and Shabbat day: Kiddush, challah & a light meal is served. No reservations necessary, all are welcome."

Anyone have any experience/comments about this? (quoted from their website)

Deals/Deal Requests / Personal note (kvittel) at the Kosel for only $5!!

« on: May 13, 2012, 03:16:05 PM »

Thought that this is a pretty good deal. A Rabbi will bring your note to the Kosel for only $5. Easier than shelling out $180 to Vad Harabonim.

#2 Yes

BE WARNED!!! its not unusual for the credit card company to call you from their "fraud department" to ask you some questions if the accounts dont match. I cant blame them though, they dont just want to write out the check....
