Sybil asked about home exchanging.

We have exchanged homes and cars (mostly) 19 times, in North America and Europe. We exchange our home in Walnut Creek, California (near San Francisco); we do not exchange our Maui condo. It's just too easy to rent.

We can honestly say that each exchange was most successful, and a win win situation for both parties. Our last two exchanges were to Toronto and to Vienna, both were wonderful. We believe that home exchanging is a terrific way to travel.

We list with homeexchange.com (#11162) and with homelink.org (US19345). The later is a better listing site. Intervac.com is also a fine home exchange listing site.

We will be happy to answer any specific questions about home exchanging; just send us an email.
