So Who Would Like To Help Me Find Great Family Vacation Places?

I've been sharing some of my knowledge with you on family vacation tips, and now I'd like to ask you if you could share some of your knowledge with me.

A while back I sent out this email to many groups of people trying to get some information on family vacations but I still need more! Hopefully you can help!


Hello fellow homeschoolers (and other families, too) -

I am trying to put together a list, (with the hopes a book) of great family vacation spots, complete with pictures, amenities, what was good/bad. We have found it very time consuming and difficult to find places like this for ourselves, have had a few 'never agains', and so I'd like to glean from your experiences - to help us find more places, and to be able to share with others in a book.

I'm not looking for places:

- to camp or take an RV
- hotels or resorts
- in urban or city areas
- with preplanned activities, activity directors
- with many other groups of people / crowds
- with planned out vacation packages

I am hunting for places:
+ Very family friendly
+ rural - quiet, out of the way places, where you can explore nature
+ if it's on a farm/ranch, join in on farm chores
+ with one or just a few rental units spaced well apart - private & quiet
+ rentals with a furnished kitchen, a/c, heat, linens, ... comforts of home
+ whether it would be good for families with little children/older children or both
+ places within an hour of places to go explore/learn history - like state parks, historical sites, etc.

ALSO, I am looking for the above rentals that that would comfortable house a large family.

If you go to this site www.koinania.com - this gives an example of one - we've gone here 4 years in a row.

If you have a place that fits what I am looking for, please forward it to me - it could be a place you've been to, heard about, or own. You also have my permission to forward this email to anyone who might be able to help out, all the people you know, or post this on home school / family chats & email groups.

If possible, please put "family vacations" in the subject line.

....So, would you email me with any places that might fit the bill? chrisp6@comcast.net

Thanks,
Christine Pusateri
