There is a motorhomes/RV thread in On the Road that might be more useful to you.
Thanks but that thready is more for the camper and RV idea.
I want to sleep in regular hotels, regular road trip.
Just looking for good stops and places to sleep/eat.

So AC just swapped my 787 for a 777 from YYZ-YVR  >:(
My Dreamliner virginity will remain intact it seems.
I know your gunning for J but is it accepted that dreamliner economy would be better than 777 economy on AC? Looking at the opposite leg (tale of 2 red-eyes, at 12:55am or 10:30 pm to YYZ) and trying to decide which option is better. looks like dreamliner seats are wider by a bit (17.3 vs 17) with one less seat in the middle plus of course its a newer plane, though it seems that recline is better on 777 (6 to 5). Thoughts?

That flight was in J.

Dreamliner premium economy on AC looks nice though.

is there airport near Italy that may be easier to get a points flight to and then I can take a train or rent a car. I cant find anything.

Also, any other similar european destination with a similar experience that may be easier to get a points flight to?

Thanks!

Looking for 3 night stay in May , preferably Sunday-Wednesday, beach or some views to relax a most, kosher food if possible, we have a lot of MR and UR. Since it's only for 3-4 days we will not like to fly very far. (Flying out of NYC)
