Next Vacation - Ideas

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

Not sure if it helps, but i flew to ATH from NYC through FRA.

Seems I had this question in the wrong thread.
Any ideas for a three day, two night, trip before August where I can drive from Brooklyn and use my two free Marriot nights (I have a category 1-4 and a category 1-5, so I guess it's gotta be 2x1-4). Thought of RI but there's it's a category 8! Just want a place to relax, scenery, maybe some biking but a decent Marriot. TIA

We live in YYZ. I want to take my wife away for a Sunday-Thursday trip in November- January. Here are our options:

1) LA- would love to go as both of us have not spent much time there and there is a good mix of leisure and touristy things to do. Also, great kosher food. Con- WE do not want to take a red eye flight back, so the Thursday flight back would kill a whole day of travel.

2) Vegas- Decent food, good for a short trip of a few days. Cons- lack of point options for hotels, if weather is not good, what would we do?

3) Miami- already been twice, but just like LA, we will get good weather and food. Also, shorter flight and no time change

4) NYC- I grew up in NJ/NY and we lived there for 5 years before moving to YYZ, but never really took advantage of food and sights. Weather will suck, but it is a short flight and plenty of hotel options.

What do you guys think?

What about YVR? Direct flights and all

It's winter time. You need to go somewhere warm.
What about LIR

Is there any kosher food in Costa Rica?  When we went to Aruba, we brought a crock pot, but it wasnt ideal and the hotel got very upset.

There is but only in San Jose. And Chabad has a product list of things that can be bought in any supermarket

OP was thinking of NYC which is cold.. so YVR is a nicer cold 
otherwise maybe a trip of LAX & SJD?

Has anyone ever been to the beaches in long island?
Which ones are good? Or better?

There are plenty of point options, maybe not directly on the strip. Plus at the Vegas cash rates lots of times that's a better option.

We're looking to rent a house with private pool somewhere nice within a few hours of tri state area, preferably walking distance to a shul for shabbos. Any ideas would be appreciated. TIA

The further from the city you get the better they become.
Make sure their is public access though.

[Sholom123]

Thank you
Any specific recommendations?

Don't really know if any specifically besides for the pubic access in the hamptons which is 2 hours from the city.

[Sholom123]

Alright thank you.
