Looking for somewhere within (about) 3-4 hours drive from Brooklyn with nice scenery and attractions that are baby friendly for the 3 days of Chol Hamoed with a Minyan within 45 minutes.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated!

Where is the best place to go to use a week's worth of Marriot cat 1-4 certs?  Could we stay at one place using all the certs?
We enjoy nature, as well as exotic places.  We will bring our own food.

BUMP please

Since we have enough certs, I thought it best to go to one place and stay for the week, however I am also open to a road trip between hotels.

Drive up the West Coast from LA/SD.  Time of year determines how far north to drive.

Indeed, a beautiful drive.  I am looking to get the most bang for my buck with the 1-4 category certificates.  Any shebang kind of cat 4 hotels for Bonvoy Mariott?

Can you recommend a specific place in the Caribbean? Already been to Panama.

Heading to Vie for a few hours.
Would like to continue from there to another destination and then return to TLV.
Besides for Bud.

Looking to do a 1-2 week trip anytime between now and September to use up a bunch of airline and hotel credits (not miles/points). Would also consider several 2-3 day trips if it's within the Contiguous 48.

Being that I don't have specific destination in mind, I want to book a flight that's priced below the seasonal average (think West coast under $150, Europe under $350, Asia under $600 etc). Is there a website that is flexible enough to show a search to "Anywhere" that will also show if the price is trending above or below average on the results page?

Google Flights is pretty good with that data...

I'd need to drill down to a specific destination from the Anwhere list to see how the prices are trending.

And you can't filter by individual airlines.
