I love to travel. Where do you live?

Both my daughter and husband have panic attacks

often though about travel. But we have worked somethings out. We have had luck

staying at residence inn hotels. They have a nice kitchen and internet assess.

We get one with a separate bedroom to make it more like a home setting.

Residence Inn seem to be in pretty good shape. My daughter will freak out in a

hotel that is run down in anyway. I have to be careful about the place we stay.

We keep to a routine we have breakfast in the hotel or in the room.

We go out from 10am - 3pm sightseeing and make sure the travel

in the car is short and back to the room for dinner and relaxing.

Sometimes I will go to dinner myself in the resturant at the hotel

and my husband and daughter will eat in the room. At least I get

to get out with them on some level.

Any kind of a family resort setting will allow the rest of the

family to do things and the child can get back to the room

when they feel overwhelmed. Often with us it is my husband

that wants to go back to the room first.

I also try to pick places that we can go to often in the summer

for an overnight to get her use to a place an expand places

she will go.

I love to go places so I have really worked on this. I also a few years back

found a campground that was a trailer campground.

These park models are like little houses. I love it. We have

a kitchen, bathroom and shower two bedrooms and cable (for them).

There are campgrounds like this all over the US. They have organized

events for the kids. I have managed to get my daughter to participate

more and more. My husband even shows up at some of the events.

These activity has worked well for me in the spring, summer and fall.

I am not so isolated. People are regulars. We picked a family oriented spot. You

don't want one with noisy teens or drinking adults. I can make a campfire at

night and get them to break

away from there computer or TV to socialize alittle. The campground has a

ceramic night. There were some issues with perfectionizing

the little figures ..oh boy ....I have had to work on that that

it is for fun or else no ceramics. There are so many stories

about the campground. I guess I really just love to get out

myself and I have experienced all kinds of issues with both of them. I think it

is worth it to try to lead a more social life.

We have a vacation coming up to. I was going to suggest we travel to

Phili but then I thought she would enjoy an overnight closer to

home and a local musuem and I would be happy to eat out. And my husband and go

home if he wants too. I just want to relax with them

not torture them.

I hope you have a good time.
