Would love to go in Feb. somewhere in Europe for 3 days, any ideas?

Why would you want to go to Europe in Feb?
Go to MLE or something.

I approve. UR Transfer to UA for 40k r/t TLV-MLE and if you book now you can stay at the Park Hyatt For 22k a night.

Sorry but Maldives is not for me......

one day for amalfi coast might be a bit too short

What about 1 day in Pompeii?

[Salty]

And now we need to figure out where to stay

If only dan would have had a trip report!!!!!!!!

Agreed. Maybe we can start a National Parks trip report thread with you?

[Drago]

So I'm about to book TLV-MLE for July, and am looking to add on a free one way at the end of the journey.

UA will allow me to add on a city in the Middle East, but not in Central Asia, for my one way.
I can't really think of anywhere to go besides for Dubai. Does any have any other suggestions?

I ended up doing DXB since UA wouldn't allow me to book CMB.
I'll try calling a few times to have it changed in a few months.

why dont you just leave it as an italy trip? it appears there is a chabad in naples for shabbos. thats what i would do if i were you. leave zurich for a different time. i certainly wouldnt sacrifice a day in capri etc for a day in zurich

We ended up with the following itinerary:

Arrive Thursday afternoon
Venice Thursday afternoon-Shabbos
Train to Rome Sunday morning
Rome Sunday afternoon-Tuesday afternoon
Driving through Tuscany Tuesday afternoon-Thursday afternoon
Florence Thursday night
Zurich/Lucerne Friday-Monday
Leave Monday

The reason we ended up planning on going to Zurich is because my wife has family there.  I guess we'll have to save southern Italy for another trip.
Also we were recommended by frequent Italy visitors that driving though Tuscany would be a lot less crowded at the beginning of July that Naples, Pompeii, Capri, etc would be.

Anyone drive through Tuscany? How was?
