I was thinking about that, but is there any exotic location or somewhere a bit different available as an option?
What about Panama.  Nice place and lots of kosher and shuls

What does everyone think of the best vacation for 7.5k to 12.5k points flying out of JFK with good availability.

Warm weather a MUST!

Very loaded question, but Florida is an obvious one at 7.5k and Caribbean after that.

For those who are looking for routings between cities the site below is very helpful, especially while I was looking for routings within Europe it included all low cost carriers and all available routings thru different airports etc.

Nice!  Just from playing around with it for a couple minutes it looks to be very useful for me

In working out details for my upcoming asia trip I'd just like some input from whoever... (I'll be traveling with 2 toddlers)


I plan on arriving to HKG at 2pm on Thursday, then go to CNX on Sun/Mon and fly home (NY) on Thu.

Minor decision but should I go sunday night to CNX or rather Monday morning?

Am I leaving enough time in HKG?

Is Mon, Tue, Wed & whatever of Thu I have before the flight (probably not much) enough for CNX?

TIA

What do you want to do in HKG?

With toddlers, two days is enough to see/do most things IMO. Then you have the half days for looking around.

The two days i was referring to CNX. Though you can also see lots of things in HKG as well. Just start early and know what you want to do.

I'm sure you will want to do the Peak, so get there early and not spend half the day waiting in line.
