where to go for 4 days in Feb that is direct flight from nyc

How much are you planning to spend (including airfare)? Sounds like a two bedroom suite with a full kitchen might be your preference but you have to let us know if that's right. The obvious flight choices would be Montego Bay, San Juan, St. Thomas, Aruba, and St. Maarten because you can fly non-stop to these places.

Well we were planning on using our ff miles for the air. can you recommend a hotel with great pools for the kids? Would 3000 be enough for a trip like this?

i would look at the Beaches resorts on jamaica. easy flight. great island. and beaches is designed as kid-friendly. one of them has a petting zoo. def kid pools, activities, and they will take your kids for periods of the day if you wish a little adult time...

another place to look is FDR Runaway Bay in Jamaica; you will get a suite and a nanny to watch the kids; they have a great toddler pool and understand important things like how (or more importantly what) small children eat!

There are always lots of deals out of NY; assume you know you better hurry to find something for this February. check for ads in the NY Times tomorrow.
