Dr Silton is an Education Phycologist in Woodland Hills, and has helped us

greatly in recommending our education strategy and plans.

Doris-

Did you find the suites you stayed at in Chatsworth to be nice?

We're looking at that place as well for our visit next month? Was it

easy to find? What were the rates like?

Thanks,

Since you are just back from seeing Dr. G. I have some questions, here they

are:

We are looking for a hotel that has a pool and a childrens recreation

area on premisis or near by. Can you recommend a hotel?

We are also looking for a hotel near to the air port (preferabaly north

of LAX). Our appointment is at 11:15 am on a monday, how long should I plan

for drive time from the Air Port Area?

Although I am thrilled we got an appointment so fast, I am worried

about traveling with just my son and me. Do you have any suggestions to

keep him amused on the plane or during layovers (one lay over is 5 hours).

I know this might sound like a silly question but I am looking to fill about

16 hours of travel time (including layovers) in just 3 1/2 days!

Were you able to pick up a rental car at the airport? I do not want to

take a shuttle to the car, ideally I'd like to go straight from baggage

claim to the rental desk, get my keys and go. Could you tell us of one?

Thank you-

Nikki & Tom
