how do ppl feel regarding vacationing to places without a minyan. feel free to differentiate between a 1-2 day trip or something longer.

If you have qualms, why not discuss it with your LOR or your spiritual adviser/mentor.

During the week is one thing. I won't go somewhere for Shabbos without a minyan though.

when Jews go on vacation, Judaism comes along.
(the only place i went on vacation was in EY so i don't have those mixed feelings )

I think it's specifically good to get away like that sometimes. I can def see how it can benefit you spiritually and just be healthy to be "away".
Obviously you'll have those that disagree or would never specifically want that.

I slept in flagstaff one night and yes, had no minyan. Although as I kind of hinted to up top, my own personal feelings are different between a one night thing and a longer vacation

I figured
Why is that flawed
To go see the grand canyon I needed to stay in flagstaff for a night. I didn't like davening in the room but I was willing to do it. But to me, going on a week vacation where I would have to do that each day is another story

Same here, one night for sure i wouldn't mind, and even a few nights if its something mega and no Minyan i.e. Yellowstone i wouldn't mind. But for Shabbos i wouldn't go somewhere if there is no Minyon

im not understanding, are you coming from a halachic standpoint or personal, if the latter then i cant argue
