Looking for ideas for a place to hang out for a few weeks next summer.  Would like a place with access to kosher food in supermarkets.

Might go back in combination with something else, but we have been taking 2 trips each summer for the past few years now.

@Denverite seems to have a special connection with Panama. ;)
I'd  say it's a cool place to be for a few weeks, but It's not a beach-town, or overly exciting as far as activities are concerned, I wouldn't be able to do it for a few weeks.
Although of you want to make a a few stops in South America as well, Panama may be a good place to base yourself out of.

You cant compare your vacation desires to that of a family with kids

We actually thought about Panama for January but decided against it because redemption value for tickets wasn't worthwhile for me.

We might consider a summer trip depending on the weather.

True. I was trying to ETA as well that I'm very antsy, so I'd never be able to do a few weeks in 1 place, so my advice should be taken with a grain of salt.

you must have pretty high redemption goals, they can work out pretty good.

England would also be a nice place to spend a few weeks. There is plenty to do and plenty of day trips you can do.

Have you done Yellowstone and surrounding area? Vancouver/Washington/Oregon? Vancouver/Rockies? California (SD-SF)? I have done all of those with a family of young children, and we had a great time...

Oh those kinds of places out of my league! :). Plus DW refuses to go out of North America with kids. We did Alaska a few weeks after you did this year, but that took lots of convincing.

Which ones? :P

Yellowstone, was a struggle a bit. It wasn't balanced with enough kid friendly stuff....at that stage my kids were very young though.... Learnt my lesson for the following years and kept it balanced.
