BCN should be perfect weather end of October.

I did MAD > GRX > BCN > OPO > LIS over a week's time, at the end of October, 2017.

What was the final decision? Or are you on another trip now?

PMI was just shabbos, pretty cool caves there with a very short boat ride in the cave. Caves Drac, or something like that.

The Park Hyatt was absolutely incredible.

Unless I'll be flying MAD-SDR-MAD-SDR-PMI-SDR-MAD-SDR-MAD or something like that I don't think I'll be taking any of those flights, although I really do want to check out one of those empty flights

Hi all!

I am going to London for a wedding in August, and afterwards I'd like to take a ten day trip in Europe.

Wife and I have already been to France, Italy, and Spain.

Thought was to take a one way to London from Chicago on Norwegian Air.  We will be traveling with a 6 month old child.

Then one way to Israel or Egypt for 4-5 days and take TAP Portugal back with a lay over in Chicago for 3 nights in Lisbon.

We are open to any suggestions!! Thx.

I have 150K United Points, 200K hyatt, 100K UR.  Would be great to fly in business for the long portions, but I probably don't have the points.

Vienna/Prague/Budapest are all great options with a lot to see/do and Kosher food and minyanim.

I try to get away for Pesach every year to a different location near a shul. We did sukkos last year and it worked out great, so looking to do it again.

Past years we've done: Vegas, Atlanta, Israel, Maui, and Sainte-Agathex2.

General criteria is a good Airbnb and walking to a shul. Inside the US is always easier because of bringing food and the ease of access to a home depot for sukka material.

We got lucky with our Airbnb last sukkos as it had a structure we easily made into a sukka, so hopefully we can repeat that this year.

Open to any and all ideas :)

Where'd you go last year? Great time of the year for leaf peeping/hiking in the White Mountains and other places in the Northeast. That's what we did last year.

I don't know where you should go, but I can really understand the need to get away from FL for Sukkos.
I've been waiting over 5 years with bated breath for someone to say that!

Very cool, where did you base yourself for sukkos?

Last year we were in Maui :)

I'm actually looking into Maine and Halifax now.

I think that you're out of your mind to consider such relatively cold locations for succos, when you have to eat outside. But each to her/his own.
