All these choices are so fun!

Well we don't have the completely unlimited funds yet but we are trying to book a vacation with our savings [we've saved a nice amount for this specifically BH].
It would only be for 1-2 weeks as we can't leave the kids for so long (still haven't decided if I want to leave my kids for so long) so Japan etc is out the picture.
Also our miles are good for a US airline which means not too many European options available.
We have added Florida (for 5 days), cancun and curcao to our list now.
I want to go somewhere with good relaxing vibes (beach basically) but also fun activities since we won't have the kids with us.

My options are endless and the more I research the more money I end up needing.

Would definitely love Hawaii but I'm an awful traveler and there's no way I would handle the flight, (even with a stopover).

I'm the worst flyer (Xanax does nothing for me) and I went to Hawaii 2 years ago. We flew from island to island on tiny shaky airplanes, and that was beside the loooong flights to and from NY.

I would do it again 100 times! It was the most enjoyable 10 days ever...like a dream. Hawaii is beautiful and different like no place I've ever been and the memories make me happy until today.

I want to go to Iceland so badly. Also, I don't expect to ever afford it, but I would love to go on an Antarctic cruise. Yes, I am fully prepared to live on instant noodles, crackers, and peanut butter for the duration.

Why wasn't Israel on the list? On a list for religious women, it ought to be a choice, if not the first one.

Many people have been to Israel many times ( or live there). While I love Israel, it's not a vacation spot for me. I feel like we have so many family and friends to see when there that it ends up being very social but not very relaxing. Like how a big family trip is special but not exactly a relaxing romantic vacation.

I hope to go one day. I remember my father went there when I was a kid, for buisness trip , he brought home cute prizes that had to do with pineapples. There's lots of pineapples there he said. I don't remember, but I do remember he didn't stop talking of this trip to Hawaii!!! Very Happy

With an unlimited budget, I would rent a luxury villa in Hawaii with a completely private beach

because most of us have been there many times and even lived there for a year of seminary.

we are discussing exotic places we want to go. Israel is not exotic- it's a part of our life.

I wouldn't go to America. Probably India.

Switzerland
Maybe Ireland

Lots of green picturesque backgrounds. As I live in Israel wouldn't think of going to the U.S.

I'm with Pewter. Israel for me.

But if I had to be more local, I'd want a place with really good kosher food. Although I've done a couple of trips with shlepping food, it's a lot of work and I think part of a vacation is being served and pampered.

After Israel, I think I'd like somewhere that is warm but not too hot, has great spa amenities, and nice parks and museums. Whichever of those places qualify, I'm in. Smile

I've never taken a vacation like this before (or any, for that matter!) and really, I'd take any of the options.

Eretz Yisrael for me. First choice for me. I am yearning to be there, to just walk the streets of the old city again, to be at the Kosel. To explore our land. The land that I love, where my heart belongs. The land where I feel Hashem's presence so much more than in chu'l...

Those of you who say you have been there so many times, you don t realize how lucky you are! yes, I was in seminary in Y-m, almost twenty years ago, and have visited EY only three other times in my life.
I would choose it over any exotic destination!

Somewhere quiet, peaceful, with extremely clean air.
I would want to go for two weeks: the first week I would do nothing but sleep and relax. The second week I would want my husband to come join me so we could do some touring and sightseeing.

I like it! Ireland for the lush verdant landscapes and hiking, Japan for the completely different (from my experiences anyway) culture and aesthetics.
