what can you do with kids in LA that you can't do in Miami?

the only thing I can think of that you can't do in either place with kids is ski

not much more but have family there so visiting helps keep them busy

Looking for Jan/Feb. Sunday/Monday till Thursday/Friday vacation from NYC
Most importantly, needs to be Hot weathers and at least some kosher food .
Semi important, non stop flights.
Looking into CUN, PTY or FLL and take a 4 day Caribbean cruise.
Is there any other options?

Favorite European vacations for a week in May? Currently considering Ireland, Amsterdam to Paris or Switzerland.

I've been to Italy, Greece, Germany and England so anything but those.

I was at Kos on the Greek side. But looks like Bodrum is worth a visit.

Prague is tempting. I would love to do a Prague/Vienna trip!

Spain, Gibraltar, Malta

Spain seems like it needs a lot of time. But it looks amazing.  Can you see a reasonable amount of things in a week?
Scotland,Wales,Canary Islands,Norway.

Is it cold in May?

ALOL. And St Louis will be? Imagine NY with less graffiti, and less a-holes, and a whole bunch of other good stuff, and you get Chicago.

I know you said you don’t need food but Shallots is SO good and it made our layover (and then flight to Israel) SO much nicer and all my kids loved the food. Don’t know if 6 hours is enough but I’ve always wanted to take my kids to the Field museum in Chicago on a long layover, although we ended up just going to Shallots instead!  :)
