PR is great was a great weekend spot. Unless being near a shul is a must for you I would recommend not staying in the city.

If
miles and points are no issue at all
you should probably look into the St Regis.

I'm planning a vacation in early-mid January to Grand Cayman. I found a condo with a private beach, great reviews, stand alone etc. (pm me for a link) it's 225 a night but the problem is a 5 night minimum stay. I dont wanna spend a thousand dollars on the accomodations alone I'd prefer to stay there for 2.5 days and find a cheaper hotel option for the other 2. Please respond if you'd be interested in splitting the rental with me. It'd be 558.50 for 2.5 days. the 5 days would begin the afternoon of January 5th and end after shabbos evening of the 10th. I'm flexible as to which half. Lemme know

So I want to plan a arctic circle trip around December January. Am I crazy?

More exactly northern Norway, maybe exactly Iceland, Ireland, and more.

Should I be special and create my own thread?

Thinking about a quick 2-3 day getaway to a place with good snorkeling.

Any recommendations? US only, east or gulf coasts. South FL, PR, and the USVI are the obvious choices, but there is no Avios availability and the cash prices are ubreasonable.

Any good snorkeling areas other than these?

It makes no sense for me or for any other jewish couple for that matter to book a vacation 10 months in advance. Chances are that your wife will be either carrying, nursing, or Nideh... and it really takes away lots of opportunities.
