Looking to go in the summer from sun to Thurs to a miami type place.

We've been to Miami more times then we can count so we need something different. We don't want Hawaii bec we don't want the half day travel so what are some other suggestions where you can just stay in a nice place and relax with no need for any major activities.

Thanks!
Arizona? Palm Springs?

Does it make sense to go to Brazil/Argentina for only 1 week (Arrive Sun Morn, leave late Thursday) or is it to rushed?  (I do want to include some beach as well)
(I do thinks quickly  ;D)

Too rushed, highly reccomend Rio, Ilha Grande and Iguazu falls.

I suppose you could do GIG Sunday-Monday, IGU/IGR Tuesday-Wednesday, and EZE Thursday, but yeah, it'll definitely be tight.

Are you looking specifically for a beach location?

San Diego

Yup, sorry @stbaum a beach is slightly more appealing then a desert  :)

Any suggestions on where to stay? Thanks
If it's not free shipping it's not worth it.

SF has a lot more to do, though not a beach town.

It’s rushed. For GIG you need 2 days, GRU is great place to be for shabbos. IGU/IGR must have 1.5-2 days and EZE 2-3 days. Then you have MAO (highly recommend), FLN, USH and a lot more.

Depending on how you define warm weather, Phoenix / Scottsdale.

Anyone been to any 5 star resorts in the Caribbean /Mexico that has snorkeling right off the hotel beach? Fairmont  Southampton had it but I'm looking for another option.

While I'm really glad you had an amazing trip, like many of your trips, it would be a nightmare for me. I need a luxury resort.
