Nope, any other ideas?
Pretty sure I saw it. But I'm sure if you google it, you can find the answer.

Could be things have since changed, but last I saw, the Caymans weren't affected.

Keep in mind this is spreading so fast as by the time you get there it may...

Not sure what your issue with connecting is. Tons of flights from Miami and really not a big deal. They're short flights.

Even if you choose a destination that has direct flights from EWR/PHL, you're booking very close in so good chance they aren't even available anymore...

Needing some ideas for a two week babymoon. Trying to figure out which trip would be best to maximize our last long haul flight with no children. Here are our ideas but also open to different babymoon destinations from parents out there. We are thinking tropical destinations out of the equation with zika virus being an issue in so many places and forecasts saying it will rapidly spread.

-Japan: during spring, maybe catch cherry blossoms and travel around both the North and South. Since this is the only option with no rental car, I am thinking this is one best to do before baby since lugging around stroller and suitcases and baby on public transit would be a pain.

-spain: fly into barcelona, train to madrid, rent a car in Madrid and explore other towns. Most temperate/beautiful option. Mostly traveling to castles, muesums, historical places.

-new zealand: road trip to both north and south islands. Basically an average of driving 2 hours per day. Sightseeing and tourist stuff on north island, mostly scenery and day hikes on south island. Only option with hiking.

Parents- which things/activities should we maximize before children (while pregnant)?

thank you very much!

Direct flights from ATL to Panama.  Great beaches, can also take tours in the rainforest, see the canals and like 10 kosher restaurants!
