I need ideas where I can go away with my husband in the winter. He has off from school for a week and I will probably be taking off from work. The only thing is that we can't go away for too long because 1. I can't take that many days off from work (3-4) and 2. I don't want to leave our baby for too long (he will be almost a yr then)...he will probably be staying with family but still. I live in the ny area...I don't want to go somewhere local but can't be too far for the reasons mentioned above. Would love a place with warmer weather...! Any ideas?

Florida always works. Short plane ride, kosher food in lots of places, warm weather.

We always do short vacations. We've even gone to Spain for less than three days. But if you want to keep it simple and uncomplicated, Florida is the way to go. Or maybe a resort in Mexico or the Caribbean somewhere. It depends on what you feel like doing for food.

I've been in Florida many times so I would rather somewhere else.
Bahamas sounds interesting... How long is the plane ride?
I was also thinking Puerto Rico. Anyone been there?

Rio De Janeiro, it's beautiful, 3-4 days are enough, about 2 kosher restaurants, and shops ( not much choice though).
But the plane ride is long. (About 10 hours), it will be summer there in the winter.
I was there last year, if you have more questions.

Flight duration till Puerto Rico is about 4 hours.
I guess rio is too far though, for a mini vacation.
When I went there, I went from sao Paulo, where we were originally staying.

Don't go to rio. Summer there is too hot, I go every year (I was born there and visit my family) and can't leave the air conditioning... About 100 degrees or even more....

I also went Pesach time and it was not too hot unlike Sau Paulo. I would take that flight for a couple of days though.

I like Puerto Rico. It had minyans and kosher food. There are interesting things to do and see. You can also just veg on the beach. Plus the flight isn't too long.

Right now DR is cheap plus you can get kosher.

The Caribbean would be great. Check to see where you can find a direct flight for a good price. Options include Grand Cayman, Puerto Rico, Costa Rica, Bahamas, Turks and Caicos.
