Looking into that option but couldn't find any nice big resorts
Thought also about adding whistler

How about Vegas? It'll be hot but not humid or unbearable.  There are some beautiful off-strip, non-casino properties and tons of restaurants.  Tons of flights and not too far.

IDK. Been to both in August and from what I remember, they felt the same.

I don't (and I'm sure most others here agree) recommend MLE like that.

I think that's suicidal given your other options.

Why? a week and half-two weeks there? or the long flight?

somewhere cool. an amazing place where if we want to just go around and explore but not necessarily have a structure be able to just wander but at the same time have sites that we set out to see. kosher food is a major plus.

Thailand.
LOL
Thought of that. For some reason it just doesn't tickle my fancy. No logical reason.

I think it's pretty doable, although I'm not sure how long you need a Paris?

We did the conrad for 3 days and then Venice for shabbos. It was certainly enjoyable. Time kinda just seems to stop in the Maldives so it was an extremely relaxing time. Granted I didn't do it with a kid, so if you think your kids up for it, I would go. I'm assuming your flying j or up that is...
