I know it's been asked a million times, but most of the "classic" options don't work for me.

Looking for a place to spend a Shabbos (and only Shabbos) in March, with readily available meals, davening, etc. Chabad preferred, but if someone has a weird idea I'm totally open.

These are my options (link to full list if anyone's bored or can't decipher an airport code):

Keristir via BUD is an interesting option, but the flight timing is way too tight I'm afraid.

CDG sounds interesting too, but from what I understand Chabad is not very convenient.

Any thoughts?

KRK won't work? From WRO maybe?
KSC/DEB for Kerestir? Very nice shabbos there, if you can make BUD work, I'd do that.
FCO should be nice (,@MosheD).
SXF/TXL has a nice Kollel Community, a shabbos I hope to do in the near future.
Also VIE has a large heimish community.

FCO is great, definitely recommend, but it looks like you've been.
What about Venice, or London which is a gaping hole in his map?
Also, if you are considering Kerestir, Mezhibuzh and Hadich are both amazing

Been to both FCO and LHR. Ukraine and VCE are not reachable before Shabbos unfortunately.

And nearby 'Royal Mile' is a nice Shabbos afternoon walk

I second EDI.
Nice shliach. Not a 'happening' place, but has guests.
Shabbos activity: walk the Royal Mile. Best if you get accommodations located between Chabad and the Mile.

You can get to LA or San Diego.

Alternatively, Bermuda, Bahamas, Cayman, and probably cancun are all zika free.

How about Aruba, Jamaica, or DR?

Distance wise they are within 5 hours of nyc, but I'm not sure how you define zika free.

If there is even a slight cause to be concerned with zika then I would stay away.

So then the entire Caribbean is likely off limits.

In the new (useless) cdc map, the entire Caribbean is purple, which means it has had past zika cases with no updates. There are no countries singled out as having active outbreaks at this point.

However, if you look at the cdc page for Aruba, they've removed the level 2 advisory to avoid travel if pregnent so who knows.

So now that the Carribean is basically off-limits, what's the next best option?
I just did San Diego in the summer so don't want to go back there

Bermuda has no zika. It's not hot in the winter, however.

Looking for a warm place for winter break with eateries and hotels walk able to shul for Shabbos, I've never been to PHX or LAX, which would you choose?

Both are the same price currently.
