I would choose HI now simply because its way more difficult to take such a long trip with kids. As a couple the long flight is fine, but with kids it can be a nightmare.

Looking for ideas for a Thanksgiving trip this upcoming November.

I'd prefer to a place in the US/or Central America.

Been thinking of Panama or Costa Rica but am open to other suggestions.

4/5 day trip.

Thanks

Been hearing great things about Costa Rica and you can score a good deal at the new Andaz there.

But is the Andaz in a good enough location to explore the country?
Maybe it's worth being in 2 places?

What's there to do there?
was discussed earlier in the thread (search equinox resort). http://www.tripadvisor.com/ShowUserReviews-g57312-d100078-r180258932-The_Equinox_Golf_Resort_Spa-Manchester_Vermont.html#REVIEWS http://forums.dansdeals.com/index.php?topic=20823.msg738638;topicseen#msg738638 12k points per room (Can pay a bit more points for a 2 queen room which was big enough for my 4 person fam).

Puerto Rico. Stay in las casitas village. It's a bit pricey but worth it

I'm looking for a 2 night midweek anniversary getaway, sans kid(s),  at the beginning of September. Preferably on the beach, within a few hours flight (or drive) of NYC.

I want to use UR,  and specifically Hyatt as I have a few upgrades.

Any ideas?

looks like this may be helpful. http://hotelsnearshuls.com also, if for this shabbos, I believe the Carlebach Shul is having a shabbos on Atlantic beach so that might be fun...
