At the risk of being stoned for asking a question that has probably been asked a million times (I searched and could not find other than thaber's question a few posts up) I'm looking for the absolute best points hotel within 3-5 hour drive from NYC and minyanim for a 2 day getaway. We have a toddler and infant so activites for them (rly just the toddler) would be a plus, but we could work that out wherever we go. Thanks!
try York pa four points  near Lancaster  and kosher food in the collage of Lancaster

Bali is amazing, with stunning resorts and beaches and cool cultural stuff too.  The island is Hindu not Muslim.  You get to see the cows running around without all the extreme poverty of India. 😋  Could do a nice stop in Singapore or Hong Kong for Shabbos.

Any tips on good mileage routing to get there?

Can route through HKG on Cathay Pacific or SIN on SQ with direct flights from both of those cities.  100k RT on Cathay Pacific in J via Alaska points is a smokin' deal, 140k RT for F (actually the same number of points as if you only flew to Hong Kong) if you've got SPG points to transfer. ;)

1) problem is availability....lol I cant plan last minute (and esp if opens close in, will have to wait until transfer goes thru). I want F not J
2) I prefer to try different airline (already done Cathay & HKG..lol)
3) I will check SQ
4) I saw Emirates has availability thru Alaska but crazy mile amount.

Looking for somewhere to go Labor Day weekend.  Preferably within 3 hour drive from the city with a minyan but not specifically a Jewish program.  Any and all suggestions are appreciated.  TIA.

Now need to figure out what to do the other 2 days. Carver is pretty close to Boston , Newport and providence. Anyone have any suggestions which way to go. After edaville looking for more relaxing stuff to do with a 5 and 3 year old. Thanks
