Next Vacation - Ideas

Turks is worth the extra $$ Seven Stars on Grace Bay and the Shore Club on long bay have pretty good value. Just make sure the weather forecast is good.

Seven stars is $1700 a night?

Confirmed, for kosher meals at Ventana Big Sur (all-inclusive) you just email guestrelations@ventanabigsur.com and inquire about the meal plan from chabad of monterrey and they give a menu (attached) for you to choose from 10 days before arrival.

Just a heads up getting different answers as I come close to my reservation for Monday, being told there may be a kosher surcharge of either 100 per day (first email) or 70 for breakfast 90 for lunch and 140 for dinner! I called up and will see how this plays out, Chabad had no idea about this and hotel concierge is saying they got this from the food dept “due to preparation and standards” though I said I don’t want plating I just want the food as delivered...

Oish. Didn't they say it was included?

yup hopefully working it out. kind of crazy for them to spring that on me right before i arrive. i wonder if they are getting more kosher orders than they expected and want to make some extra on the hassle.

in the end, for Ventana Big Sur they are just charging a $100 surcharge for kosher meals for the entire stay to cover delivery, which makes sense to me.

Ok, I guess that makes sense. How long are you staying for?

 I'm hoping you can help me. My wife and I and finally getting a chance to vacation with my wife without my kids (been almost 8 years) where would you advise we go? We've been doing Orlando and Miami with the kids but now we can technically do anything. We would prefer to stay within the continental US. Someone mentioned the "big sur" or Florida 30A what do you think? Also do you have any travel itineraries for a couple (activities/kosher food)?
Any help you can give is MUCH appreciated.
Probably looking to leave NYC Sat night and return thurs night late.

Any ideas for 7-10 relaxing days during July at a location

1.  near water (lake, river, ocean, but somewhere that has private areas to avoid mixed swimming)
2.  near trees a plus
3.  near a minyan a plus
4.  exotic, unusual, activities are all pluses
