See the Cleveland thread from here to the end

Average people talk about things
BIG PEOPLE TALK ABOUT IDEAS.

Need a vacation idea, preferably 2-6 hour drive from Five Towns. Somewhere we can rent a nice house with the fam (food and minyanim). Just need a change of scenery

I was planning to go to the boardwalk yesterday with DW and take a long walk, but it was freezing. So instead we stayed home and looked at the picture on @Wizmanison 's trip report to the Maldives. It really gave a great feel to our "staycation."

Thanks @Wizmanison

Appreciate the kind words :) Hope you both enjoyed as much as we did! Stay tuned as I should have the rest of the TR finished by hopefully next week!

other than FL, any other long weekend (Thurs-Mon) warm-weather/family friendly getaway options? Kosher a huge plus.

I don’t know what your city of origin is, but if you’re departing from NYC, PTY is the same distance as LAX.

Thinking of going away for 3 nights with DW, leaving from NY, beginning of January. My first thought is beach vacay, quiet Caribbean Island... But it might not be the best timing for a beach. Can't seem to think of anything else worthwhile though. Ideas?

January is very good timing for a beach vacation

Looking for warm and scenic locale, 2-3 hr flight from tristate area. Not CUN (safety concerns) or Florida.
Thanks!

No much time to read the Caribbean island thread  :),  off- hand which is the most beautiful with lots of points hotels? (Bermuda is out, hotels seem expensive...)
