because of a level 2? Most of Europe is level 2, including France, Spain, Italy, UK, Germany, Denmark, Sweden and so on. Bahamas is also Level 2 fwiw.

Hah! I posted on here a few months ago asking whether it was worth taking my kids to Phoenix for 3 nights back in Feb. We went and we had an AWESOME time. Totally incredible hiking, decent food options. Not sure where OP would go to let her kids roam around freely but I would look into different parts of the city if that's of interest. The hiking was out of this world, and it's so cool to come from the east coast and land in the middle of the desert. We stayed at a cheap and easy holiday inn type hotel but there are some resorts in Scottsdale that looked amazing.

I think this is the answer although if you're just going to stay on resort grounds it's a bit pointless. Puerto Rico has so much fun stuff to do besides swimming in a pool and overeating.

Not a NOPE if the plan is to stay on the resort property the whole time.

It’s really dumpy lately. Do your research first.

What's wrong with it? I used to love it.

Yes, and? That’s warm!


Not when they don't heat their pools.
