Passover 2010: Hotels and Resorts
Some couples getting married this time of year, while thinking of honeymoon, may also be thinking of Passover. And while Passover is a truly beautiful Jewish holiday, Passover preparations are not your typical idea of honeymoon. Most newlyweds ‘escape’ to their parents / in-laws for the seder and the 7 days that follow. But if you’re thinking of escaping to one of the dozens of Passover programs that happen yearly around the world, here’s a basic and simple run-down of Passover hotel options for Passover 2010.
{This year Passover begins on the night of March 29th and ends on the night of April 6th. Standard check in for most of these hotels is on March 29th and check out is on April 7th. Shorter stays are also available April 1-7 i.e. from the first day of Chol Hamoed until the end of the holiday.}
