What company is providing $5K trip allowance rewards, if you are permitted?

Jcc, I'm not going to give a name, but it is a huge manufacturer of building materials with a world wide presence.

My boss and his wife have been to Israel every year for the past several years. No safety issues and they always have a ball. Lot's of history right around there......

Costa Rica.

LEGO???

Like I said, safety was not a concern for those that I know that just got back, but since we can't afford the trip and my wife really can't travel like that at this time anyway I did the next best thing (based on what one of our friends told us last night)...this we could afford...

Aside from Hawaii, there's always the San Diego area - its wonderful. Add in a few days in Laguna Beach, Dana Point. can't go wrong hanging there for a while with lots to do.

Carlisle,PA

Understood, my younger son essentially was given the same award from his large brokerage firm, and the reason I asked, and also probably think best for them to also remain anonymous. He was headed to Croatia, but current events have likely closed that option.

NYC...tour the 9/11 memorial, have some killer pizza, go to Katz’s Deli, maybe see something on Broadway.

Negril, Jamaica. 82 degrees and sunny every day. Western end of the island so you have afternoon sun and great sunsets every day. book an all inclusive resort.

The director Francis Ford Coppola has a few resorts in Belize.

Blancaneaux Lodge

Turtle Inn

Coral Caye

What about Greece or Spain or Portugal? All warm spots with interesting stuff but probably a long flight from Mn. My wife and I went to Portugal for our honeymoon, lots to see and do and the southern part where all the beaches are is kinda like Southern California.

But wherever you choose to go, make sure there is good food!

Disneyworld! The Family loves it

More specifically, Hedo II in Negril.

$5k generally gets us a week give or take. Winter here may be peak there but check website for deals and major holidays are generally low tide. Scenic ride from the airport, all inclusive, adults only, beach front, excellent staff. Don't believe the hype - it's not all young swinger hard bodies frollicing - most of them can't afford it. It's much more the 35-65 crowd and a very good time.

All inclusive means all meals in at least (4) different restaurants and unlimited call brands at several swim up bars. Also includes snorkeling and scuba and the water is crystal clear. The usual catamaran cruise is optional, affordable and throws anchor at tourist bar where the locals cliff dive. Various day trips can be booked through the concierge. It's at the tip of Seven Mile Beach and that's great strole. Nightly vegas style shows, night club, piano bar, tennis courts but I don't know why.

One tradition at the place is get your rock painted - and then update it every time you come back. There's gotta be a thousand of them around the place and most have multiple dates. I think that's the best endorsement.

I agree, SD is great and I usually stay in the Del Mar area. Really fun during Goodguys too. Coronado Island is also great plus a trip to the Point Loma lighthouse, etc etc.

I looked in Miami
I looked in Negril
The closest I came was a month old bill

Hawaii probably best for most people, so I agree with that answer. If it were me, as much as I hate the state for many reasons, I'd probably go to California. I've never been, and I'd like to go once. I'd like to see San Francisco, I'd like to drive Pacific Coast Highway, I know San Diego is supposed to be a beautiful city, and they have many beautiful beaches. I'd also go to 29 Cove Rd. Anyone know that address?

So many beautiful places in California (again, despite all the problems that would keep me from living there).

The Fairmont Grand Del Mar is my favorite hotel in the 48 states

I'd spend a few nights in Malibu at 29 Cove Rd
