[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

This may not be what you are looking for either, but I  found a direct flight to Atlanta, taxi from the airport to Embassy Suites by Centennial Park to be very easy and great for kids because there is so much to do right there. Playgrounds, children's museum, very nice aquarium, World of Coke, pool at the hotel, college football hall of fame, splash pad depending on the season, carriage ride, ferris wheel. The person with health issues could probably get wheelchairs or scooters at the museums if needed, but I'm not sure. You can also take the streetcar to MLK stuff, but there will be homeless people on it.[/quote]

If you are going to Atlanta and anyone in the family is a walking dead fan, you can visit many of the sites where they film. It’s about an hour from Atlanta. There is a small museum in one of the cities and you can take some awesome pictures of the Alexandria walls, the railway from Terminus and the city where the Governor lives.  I am a real film geek and love to visit things like this[/quote]
