All except Gibraltar who are the most exceptional hosts. 100% chance of getting hosted.

great to know and forgot to ask whether they all have (points) hotels within walking distance to the food, or it needs to be eaten in hotel?

Ideas for a points hotel in continental US with an awesome pool? Or if anyone has any recommendations for an AirBNB with a very nice private pool?

The problem is that those lists don't specify points-only hotels. On that specific list of Top10 only 2 are points hotels.

Marriott's are. Have you looked into those?

They look very nice but are 35K and 40K.

Thanks. I've been looking at Hyatt's list of hotels by category (only those in US48) and literally opening them all up to check out their pools/waterslides and compiling a list. Can't believe how many there are!

repost:

does it make sense to go to Switzerland for more than 2 days? i'm wondering if i should take it easy and relax there for 3/4 days and then move the vacation to Paris or Venice. i don't want to do more than 2/3 cities/countries and i have 10 days vacation including 2 shabbosim.

my question is, how long would it take to take a train from Zurich to Venice and how long till Paris. they both seem equal distance from ZRH
question 2, would it make more sense to do Paris, Zurich, and then Venice? (i must leave Sunday and would only do Venice on Shabbos)
question 3, is it too much to just park myself down in Zurich and just take it all in nice and slow?

Zurich is max a 1 day thing.. The alps is a different story

i wouldn't stay in Zurich. I would just use that as my basecamp i don't mind sitting in a train for 2 hours back and forth to go to the attractions outside of Zurich

Looking to go away in the summer
Traveling with 3 kids ages 1-7,
up to 6hr from nyc, somewhere not too hot and humid, with attractions to keep the kids busy

Using my Hyatt DSU would be a plus.
Meanwhile I have the PH aviara booked but looking for some better ideas
