It is true what they say that to travel and experience different cultures is the best education one can get. Although a vicarious and anecdotal experience at times can be a good measurement of how things really are, it is in the actual experience when one can realize how things are. It is not therefore a waste of one's resources when spent on traveling to different places, getting out of one's territory and comfort zone to feel how the other half lives. It is the experiences which will help you understand a bit more about humanity and perhaps teach tolerance among other people with their way of life, their culture, and in some sense, their own perspective of things.The recent advancements in technologies related to infrastructure and travel have made it more affordable, convenient and economical for people to travel these days, added to the economic incentives of freeing up the skies and giving more airlines access to utilize air routes. The economies of scale have resulted in literally cheap seats available at a moment's notice. The internet has helped improved the competitiveness for such seats by making such information available and through online purchases through credit...more

Plus, I want to bring my teen daughter and her friend so we will be pretty...more
Dear Key to Home Exchange,A couple of months ago, before joining RoofSwap, we used a different club to finalize what felt like a great exchange - 3 weeks in a small in-town cottage in coastal Spain next June. Retired couple, car exchange, etc. This is a first exchange for both of us but we've been thorough and thoughtful. We exchanged quite a few emails, coordinated dates carefully and both purchased airline tickets.I was noodling on the internet and discovered their home is on the market! When I asked I was told not to worry, that they wouldn't be selling for at least a year, which they understood it was a shock but it wasn't something to worry about. But it is a current listing and of course the nature of real estate is that it sits and then suddenly sells. It's a tourist-driven town and I'm sure they feel it won't budge till summer, but we sold our Hilton Head place in September so truly, one never knows.I've read in your [ HomeExchanger.Blogspot] column about the exchange you cancelled when you discovered the home was for sale. This couple seems more clueless than diabolical - they don't seem to see it as a big deal or misleading. But we are uncomfortable and now thinking they...more
