Thinking about doing one of these. If I had to choose one of these places to base myself out of for 5 days which should I go with?
Explain base yourself. What would you like to do?

No idea, would be going with just my wife and looking for a mixture of seeing, doing, chilling.

Would totally depend on where you've already been and what you like to do, but I'd probably do Scottsdale.

I've been everywhere and would do anything again but Florida.

Scottsdale should have a good mix of things to do and the property looks from the nicer ones of the bunch.

Wife is in a no ZIKA stage.
Need something with warm weather for mid-Feb.

Thinking of SFO and drive to LAX. What places should I hit up on the way?

Any other ideas ?

+1 totally Scottsdale.  Tons of stuff to do or just chill and the best kosher restaurants of all those options, by far.

Why do you feel you need an additional location? There's definitely a week's worth of stuff to do there. My friend's family are there for 10 days right now and they are doing something different every day.  I'm going for mid-winter for a week and seeing all their awesome pictures am worried it's not enough time to do what I want and still have some days to just relax at the pool!

Basically it seems like most of the stuff you can do in Costa Rica, Cancun and Brazil rolled into one compact location, with great hotels and kosher restaurants to come home to each night!

Who do you think you are fooling? You think you are going to pull a quick one on your Creator? Good luck with that.
