Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Southern California is great, everyone (I think) wants to go there!sharinajk <skeathl@...> wrote: Hi everybody I have a couple of questions for other parents about the retreat for families with disabled kids that I'm opening. You guys are my market research. :)My question is how far from an airport would you be willing to travel to get to the retreat with your kids. There are several places around the country I'm looking at and I'm trying to narrow it down because of the investors wanting to know where is best. So…I have one place in the Redwood Forest in CA, it 1 ½ from airport and off the beaten path. One 15 min from airport in PA farm country near Hersey. And a couple in Southern CA up in the Mountains again 1 ½ from airport. I'm still looking all over at various properties. I know its hard to travel with our kids so I'm trying to get feed back from other parents.Where would you like to go.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 Please consider San Obispo, California....... There is a huge population here of autistic kids/families, and we have wanted something like this but we are too tired to make it happen. Consider Cambria Pines Lodge as that was what we were initially look at for this. You could probably fill it with parents/families just from this area alone. There is another person who was considering this as well locally but they don't have the time to make it a reality. If you want assistance in this, we have formed a new autism center that is just in its infancy. I am on the board of directors and can put you in touch with the interim director. This is something we REALLY need in our town. It is already a tourist area so it would be perfect......

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2008 Report Share Posted February 21, 2008 UES!!! In San Obispo County, Central Coast of CA, would be great! It's a great area to visit with lots to do. Beaches, hiking, wineries, horses, and more.... Plus a large population of college students who might like to work for you. The local college has a good human development department and students need internships. > > Please consider San Obispo, California.......
