2 days in AMS or FCO (or somewhere else in EU?), or 3 days in BDA or YVR?

Totally different vacation. What do you want to do? Explore a city, be amazed by nature, or chill on a beach?

With kids it would be longer. The time constraint is due to being without them.
Don't wait for the perfect moment; take the moment and make it perfect.

True. Though it's always fun to explore a city in a way you can't with kids and it's nice not to have to bring food.
Besides, it's not shlepping if you're in F without kids :)

Hehe, having to connect from CLE to NYC and then possibly somewhere else on the way to AMS/FCO is already a schlep no matter what class you're in. :P But I can imagine a city having it's fun aspects without kids.

Indeed.
But I'm not sure anything in FCO appeals to me and perhaps it's dumb to do YVR again, so added AMS AND BDA amd open to suggestions.

VCE is my choice for a short trip in Europe. After that, I'd say AMS is a great choice. London and do the HP tour? Spain also has a lot of awesome things, but you want to go for longer so that you can do a bunch of cities. FCO doesn't appeal to you? I really like the historical/famous sites, but might not be for everyone.

As the new Noah's Ark replica in Kentucky opened up last week i'm thinking of making a road trip with my kids to visit it.

I want to do 5 to 7 day vacation, considering i will have to sleep over somewhere on the way, spend one day at the ark and find other attractions for the rest of the trip,

Will my best option be staying in Cincinnati as its only 45 min drive from the ark? or is there any other jewish areas with shuls and some kosher food available, especially if i will be staying over shabbos.

Looking for a recommendation for a friend - couple with a girl just under 2 years old, 4 hour drive from NY max, couple days probably not over Shabbos, specifically want a place with activities that will keep the kid happy/busy. Any ideas?

OK I am looking to relax and chill with DW and babe. I'm leaving from Israel.
I would also like to 'do'  something. So here's what I'm thinking tell me if it's crazy or any other suggestions.
Leave TLV after Tbav to LCA and stay there for a week. (there we just chill out) fly from LCA to Athens or anywhere in Greece and tour a little for a week whilst going to a few different city's either by train or fly. From there fly back to LCA for 2 days and back to TLV.
I was thinking of getting a private pool during the first spell in Cyprus for DW as that would be epic for her.
Basically that is the style vacation we are looking for and it is quite cheap so any other suggestions would be appreciated.
