Now that I have to be in London in August and there are cheap flights I'm considering doing something in Europe with the kids.
Thinking of kosher program in dolmites 5-7 days and then Venice and Rome for a couple days
Does it make sense with kids?
The 8&9 year old would probably enjoy but will it work with a 4 year old boy?
Is there any kid friendly activities in Rome to fit in?
Any other ideas in Europe to spend 7-10 days with kids ages 4-9?

After posting on here also about summer options with kids I started researching Rome more in-depth. I found a morning activity run by the historical society for a "Gladiator school" that I know my boys would love (I have ages 7-14). It is 6 and up but it might be great for the older ones and since it's only a couple hours you could entertain the little one watching and going through their attached museum. Also, I really thought my kids would love Pompeii and although they are pricey I saw there are one-day tours there from Rome, where we could just pack sandwiches for lunch and be back to Rome for dinner.

Thanks!
The drive to Pompeii is a pretty long drive, was thinking maybe of flying into NAP and staying in Capri for 2-3 days they have a kosher restaurant there
The ghetto tour in Rome is it something that would be interesting for 8-9 year old?

Never done a cruise, would to try one..A simple one, 5 days..leave from port of miami and sail the caribbean. Anyway to use points? Everytime I put in dates it comes out to $2000+ for a family of four..tips?

Suggest 7 day instead, and don’t be stuck on only leaving from Miami.

Can us UR points or sell.

Price and which cruise line to use - how old are your kids?

thinking of taking last week or 2 of the summer off for a family trip. originally i really wanted to fly out of NYC to west coast and do a nice road trip around there but i feel like its not really realistic with 3 kids under the age of 4 ( 4&3 yo and 6 month old). anyone has any ideas of kids friendly spot or spots that i can go with the family? we did SD 2 years ago which was great and we're getting bored of Orlando/Miami.

Looking for a place for a summer vacation:
Longish stay (2+ weeks) at affordable rates
Near kosher food

We would love a vacation rental/cabin on a lake or near nice hikes, swimming spots, etc.

Basically we'd prefer to spend the same amount of money that we'd usually do in a week or 10 days and make it last for a while, but we need a kosher food source if we're gonna be away for work long.

I've done Acadia before and loved it. We actually took along all the food that time, but I don't recall there being too much kosher food in that area anyway.

Looking to get away for a weekend(Thurs pm-Sun pm) in a couple weeks. Looking for ideas. Based out of ORD. Looking for somewhere not too far but I'd fly 5 hours. All I really want, is some place a bit less typical, don't really care the particular climate. Warm and beachy is a plus. No kids, just the wife and I.
TIA

Not beachy, but warm.
Or maybe somewhere in Mexico like Cabo?

Don't particularly care about either, although kosher food would be a plus.

That's a thought. Not crazy about Mexico for a weekend.

Cancun is close. Southwest flies non stop but maybe only seasonal.
