On the Road Again




You stay in mi casa, I'll stay in su casa...

It seems to have worked for us...we are about to embark on our 8th home exchange. Here are the places we have visited, enjoying the area without paying motel fees:

the Berkshires in Massachusetts - first one after retirement;
then these after serving 2 part-time missions at the family history center:

Virginia - just outside of Washington, DC
Vancouver, Canada
Manhatten, New York - high rise in the heart of midtown Manhatten
Scottsdale, Arizona
Pacific Beach, California - just a few blocks from the beach
Abbots Bromley, England - our longest stay at five weeks...the owners of this home had been on 38, yes, that's right, 38 home exchanges...they said St. George was their favorite.

We are headed to a home in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, while the owners stay in our home.
Lots to do to get ready to go; have to leave the home in pristine condition.

It's always fun, but basically I'm a homebody, so I'm always glad to return home...

but, in the meantime, here's to adventure.....

I am so thrilled to hear about your Home Exchange genius! What a super program to be involved with. (I guess there's not room enough for a tag-a-long eh?) Oh the adventures you've had, now have fun in the Florida sun!
