Banff would be the right type. Nice views and serene type.

Smokey mountains?

Lol, 1 night?
Just go to any nice local hotel. PH NYC?
LOL is right.
We have the 2 surrounding days. We've done a lot of the NY and east PA in day trips, but yes those are included. No we are not looking for any major destination. Banff would be perfect if we had the time for it, but we don't.

Also, they are prdicting stormy weather here for Tues Wed.

Unless your flying it don't get much better. Unless you want to go to upstate NY.
We may be able to stuff flying to BGR/acadia. That is something I am considering.

You probably found yourself the best idea :)
Should be under 3 hours from lakewood to the destination. Seems like a great option in that range.

Posted this on the RV thread but might be a better idea to post here.

I’m thinking of taking an RV for a week with wife and 2kids (2 year old and 9month) from NJ. Does anyone have ideas where to go? Also would need a place to be for Shabbos. (I would leave on a Thursday noon)
The week would be a round trip.

Everything finally fell into place to go just DW and I for 2 days with the night without any kids. All we need is a nice pretty area to spend some quiet time. We can fly somewhere but don't want to spend half the time flying from Lakewood. It would be nice if it was a little cooler than here. Any ideas?
If driving is okay, Lake George or Vermont / NH.

me and the mrs went to paris without the kids last thanksgiving and it was totally perfect from start to finish. any similar short vacation cities someone could recommend that are a lil romantic/walkable and with a shul/place to eat out on shabbos (chabad is of course fine)? Focused more on non-beach trips (we do beach trips with kids). considering Amsterdam heavily, but delta skypeso klm availability is annoying me.
thx for ideas, ended up grabbing Amsterdam tix through flying blue. will need to do italy one day...

How does Myrtle Beach compare to Hilton Head? Is it similar, was 2 times in Hilton Head, stayed at the Marriott right on the beach, very relaxing for a few days, wanted to check Myrtle Beach, any feedback?

Was there on chol hameed. There used to be a kosher restaurant but it's not kosher anymore.
There is a local supermarket that carries some kosher goods including chalav yisroel but they where emptied out pesach.
Nothing much to do besides beach and the famous ferris wheel, Broadway at the beach is a main center with many fun activities, and if you are in the mood to drive 2 hours, drive to Boeing's facility in North Charleston.

Help me to decide!

I’m palnning a return trip from TLV-JFK using AA miles on QR with a friend. The routing is TLV-AMM-DOH-JFK and due to the timings of the fights, we have a full day in either Jordan or Doha.

Any suggestions/pros and cons of which city to spend the day in? If you’ve been to either of these cities, what do you recommend?

unless you're going by Helicopter, cant be done
You need min 3 hrs from AMM to petra (and back
and the walk to the top of Jebel Haroun is 6 hours
you can go to Petra and back though easily and walk thru the canyon....

It was a great suggestion , but as you said the time does not permit such a trip.
