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.
I personally would trade Greek islands for Cyprus, not even the same league. I would go bonkers with a week in Cyprus.

I know. You've always had this thing against Cyprus. That's why I reiterated that it's just to relax. I'm going took into Greek Islands

You can relax in the myriad of beautiful places in Israel. No need to fly to Cyprus for that.

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. 


https://arkencounter.com/
Anyone here from Cincinnati can help me out with details on where to stay for shabbos and kosher food?
My signature is worth more than that.

We had a perfect one week vacation in Lincoln NH a few summers ago. It was great for the whole family, minaar ad zokain, taf vnoshim... We rented a house (VRBO?) in a development with a pool etc. The activities there are the perfect blend of challenging and relaxing.
Now the question is where can we have a similar experience, without going back to the same area.
Thanks!

Already planning my next vacation! (Not sure if I am allowed to before my TR is finished ;)) I love this life! Not sure if I should go to Israel or go to Hawaii

Ive been to both: Israel when single and Hawaii for my honeymoon both pre-ddf (post ddf I forsure would have went to MLE)

This time I would be going with 2 kids and one lap infant

What are your thoughts?

Did Israel will kids and going to do Hawaii with kids (all thanks to DDF!) so I can let you know for sure in September, but I think Israel is more kid friendly, plus ease of kosher food means less schlepping.

reason?
More convenient. Def more baby,toddler,child friendly activities. I just think its not ideal to take a 10 hr flight for an amusement park.

Your still limited especially with an infant. With what you'd he able to do you may as well do it in Israel.
