AUA?

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

Are there really any true safety concerns with CUN if you fly in, take a private transfer to your hotel and do group activies?

But by the summer, you may need a passport to get in. (If there will even be diplomatic relations...)

Couple with 7 month old. From NY for either Sunday- Wednesday or possibly from Friday if shabbos friendly.
 Flights not too long as were not going too long so don’t wanna waste too much time flying.
 Not outside the US so we don’t have to test for covid to fly back
 Not Miami too overrun at this time
 Obviously a place that isn’t really under lockdown

I guess such a place doesn’t exist? I don’t even have to fly looking for any suggestions of a nice hotel or place to go to drive or fly.

Not saying this is the case here. But I know too many people that believe the only vacation destinations are LA and Miami.

They are convenient, have good weather, kosher food, shuls and luxury points hotels so they are pretty perfect for most people with no hassles

I googled it so I’m guessing you mean great smoky mountains of Tennessee. Anything specific u wanna say about it? Where to stay? What to do?
