Looking for about a week trip from Israel, with wife & possibly 1 year old (I know whether she comes or not can change everything but not sure yet if we'll be able to leave her). Looking for a bit of activities but love nice beaches & just relaxing. Right now I've been focused on Athens thurs - sun, sun - thurs Crete at the domes of elounda I have a reservation for sun - wed on points & I can extend. Paid rate is over €800 I booked for 45,000 Marriott. My other option on crete is domes of noruz on the other side of the island in chania.

 I haven't really found much info on ddf on crete & I haven't really done much research further. So I'm wondering if crete is a good choice or if anybody has a better suggestion. Once I decide on crete I guess I'll move this over to the Greece master thread.

Yes, Crete is a great option and I highly recommend the Domes of Elounda.

Place for a week for family (mixed ages), in August within a 4-5 hour flight  (Not LA, Chicago or Vancouver)
Wants: Decent priced Airbnb (etc) with pool. I prefer some nice activities in the area but kids are just happy with a private pool.
Kosher food would be helpful but not a must.

If you don't need restaurants, rent a house w/a pool in the Outer Banks (I love NC).  You can get everything but meat and CY cheese in the local Walmarts.

Has anyone done Missouri in the winter? Is there enough fun things to do with kids ages 4-9? I already know about the City Museum, Anheiser Busch, and the Arch

Alternatively, ideas for 4 adults and 4 kids to travel over Yeshiva break within the continental US that doesn't have a lot of snow and isn't California, Vegas, or Florida. We like a variety of activities and want things we can't see in the NY area.
