Just changed my flight to MLE. Now leaving a day earlier and taking the 77W instead of the A380 on the way there.

I will be in Miami this summer and I'm looking for a quick two three day vacation. I was thinking maybe Jamaica (9k avios rt) any other suggestions/ideas?
Would rather something a little different off the beaten path. So not looking at cancun or Bahamas.

I'm looking to go somewhere that has more to it then just beaches (I was in Santa domingo and really liked it) cruise isn't really an option I want to explore) at most I would take a "two hour cruise" to the bahamas but that's a different trip.

I got it. Thank you. Alas there are no direct flights from nyc, so that's out. I'll look into Amsterdam, and if anybody has any other ideas, feel free to share.

Thessalonika in Greece is a cool city to check out. Optimally you would want more than one day but all the touristy things can be done in one day & there's even a kosher restaurant run by chabad

I'll look into Costa Rica. But I feel as if Jamaica is more exotic.

Look into the osa peninsula in Costa Rica. Doesn't get much more exotic than that

Their both nice ideas, but there isn't any direct flight from nyc. Being that this would be a stopover, and not my final destination, I don't want a 2nd stop on my way to Israel. I appreciate the answers.

No problem. Are there direct fligths to Athens? if you do a really intense day of touring you can see most of Athens main sites in a day

I recall seeing somewhere ( I think on dabs Israel post )  that Aeagan flies directly to Athens from NYC, but I can't seem to find any of their flights on ita, or google flights.
