[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]San Antonio was easy for us. However, I really think the deciding factors are not the location per se but the dynamics of the people and being realistic about what everyone can handle.

That includes adults getting along or not, children getting along or not, how flexible each person is, bedtimes and how changing them affects your actual kids (not how you think they "should" be affected or how you want things to work but what is actually true for your kids, which may vary by age, personality, etc.), wake-up times and changing those affects everyone, how much money you're spending if that's a source of stress if you think anything wrong is wasting money, how well everyone functions in cars/planes, and on and on.

Do you need more rules or fewer rules for things to go better? Strict bedtimes or leniency? Packed and time-sensitive itinerary or flexibility? More or less down time? More rooms/beds/privacy? Opportunities to split up if someone doesn't want to do an activity? Being realistic about all these things without any judgement is what has really made our trips much better and "easier."[/quote]

To OP: I just saw your update about heath issues (I'm very sorry) so most of this may not apply to what you're looking for, especially since we walked all over San Antonio! But hopefully having realistic expectations and knowing you don't have to fit any one script to have a good trip will help you in thinking it over.[/quote]
