I would like to go away with my wife (w/o the kids) for 3 days, were deciding between Miami and Orlando, any suggestions?
IMHO Orlando is really nice for kids... Miami is amazing for adults!

I think Miami is more fun with kids and without.

Starwood you can do grand Cayman Islands or St. John both category 5 or if looking to spend more there are 3'2 really nice hotels in Puerto Rico one us a W and 1 st. Regis

Thanks. These are great ideas. Looking into the cayman islands but only have ~30k points. Which BA flights fly to Puerto Rico? I couldn't find any from MIA.

You need AA flights. Then you book them through BA. Search for flights on BA.com

Looking for a nice relaxing 3 night vacation. Leaving TLV on a Monday and arriving in London Thursday evening. Somewhere en route. Something fit for a carriage/5 month old baby.
Was thinking of Switzerland through Geneva as I got great prices but I don't know if it's such a good idea to go with a kid there. Any ideas?

Is it relaxing and stroller proof? Or is it endless grave hopping? I'm from England so history doesn't attract me too much

It's a land that's soaked in history and Americans aren't used to it

OK I just thought of another idea.  Maybe I will go somewhere in Europe that is a train away from paris/Brussels and then I'll take the Eurostar to London.
Thoughts?

Which option is better: to spend Thursday evening Friday and Shabbos in BKK, HKG or SIN? I plan on going to CNX and HKT from there early Sunday morning.
