Updated: Sukkos Edition: Where Should I Go?
« on: October 05, 2018, 09:46:32 AM »
I haven't been on a trip with just the Mrs. and I in over 3 years, and may have a week we can go somewhere Sunday-Sunday at the end of October.

Open to any suggestion of where to go/stay.

(Some background: We are leaning towards Barcelona/Mallorca/1 other Spanish city. We want to do South Africa at some point.)

Thanks!

BTDT, looking for something different. And isn't 5 days in TLV too short?

Spent Sukkos there LOL
First world problems. How about Panama? If you only have 5 days it would be a shame to do too much flying.

Trying to avoid any Zika areas. Which pretty much rules out most of the Caribbean and South America FWIU.

IME, it is very difficult to get hard facts/stats on Zika. Even 2 years into it, everyone just crosses off entire countries. All I have is anecdotal evidence for Panama which says Panama City is fine, it's the jungle areas that have a problem. So while that may knock off a few potential activities, there should still be enough to do to keep you busy for 5 days.

End of October and November is quiet time in Europe. How about Switzerland? Weather may be horrible then though. Possibly rain all week and many mountains close for renovations then. They usually close Oct. 23 thru mid November.

Are any of the kosher hotels there nice? An all inclusive kosher resort sounds like something really nice.

Don't know if they're open then. Maybe the Levine hotel in Arosa is. I like buying the Switzerland food. The meat and bread there is awesome. I doubt that the Jewish hotels there are fancy enough for you.

Well. Still 11 kids (if we exclude my SIL and grandkids), but 3 of the older ones won't be there.
