Comment: Entry of Feb 3, 2001 at 15:39 [EST] Loved your site. Found it by accident whilst looking for information about Gloucestershire.. Wish we could exchange - we live in Auckland New Zealand but we have only a very small house and have not at this stage even considered exchanging.My website - designed by me is designed for selling our hand stitched teddybears which we sell through the internet. we'd love you to look and let us know what you think. Happy holidays !!! Best regards, Joy

Comment: Entry of Feb 6, 2001 at 16:47 [EST] You guys look like the cutest family!!! I wish I had something worthy of exchange with you. I have a one bedroom apt. in Manhattan (NYC) across the street from Central Park. However, since you like to holiday, my cousins, Michael and Linda Andison, own an award-winning B&B out in Somerset. ....the King's Head Inn, Cannington Village, Bridgewater, Somerset, England. Tell them their US cousin Patty sent you if you do go. Be well! Patricia

Comment: Entry of Feb 7, 2001 at 00:06 [EST] Hi, I was looking at home exchange sites when I found yours. It is a brilliant site and your links and information about the area you live is very helpful. We have not exchanged homes before, however we are very interested in the concept. Your comments about your previous exchanges and photos help us to feel confident that exchanging our home could be the answer for us. Glad you liked your Vancouver trip, I was born there! Thanks

Comment: Entry of May 25, 2001 at 11:34 [EST] Very, very helpful! We never have exchanged homes, but your information gives us more courage. We live on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, U.S.A., two blocks from the Atlantic, We'd be curious about exchanging during the summer of 2002. Let us know if this sounds interesting! Thanks, Pat and Gary Good, pggood@adelphia.net, 843-842-4818.

Comment: Entry of Jul 19, 2001 at 14:20 [EST] Well thought out site! We are considering getting into vacation exchanging. We are in the mountains of Western North Carolina, at approx 5000'. We have skiing in the winter, golf, hiking, kid's day camp, etc, in the summer months, and glorious color in the fall. Our house is approx 2200 sq ft., 3 bedrooms. If this sounds like it might be interesting as a potential exchange, drop me an e-mail note.

Comment: Entry of Nov 18, 2001 at 16:42 [EST] I came across your listing on the slide show in the home exchange. You have a great webpage and i hope you have a great exchange this xmas. Frances

Comment: Entry of Nov 26, 2001 at 05:39 [EST] Very impressive..how about a few tips for prospective home exchangers?

Comment: Entry of Jan 2, 2002 at 17:37 [EST] Your website ahs been very helpful to me. My family and I are researching the idea of home exchange for this summer. My husband and I are both teachers and we would like our children (boys, ages 14 and 12)to visit England. We have traveled through Germany and Italy and would now like to visit England.

Comment: Entry of Jan 13, 2002 at 20:05 [EST] What a great idea. I found your site after browsing the Home Exhange site. We live in Port Carling, Ontario, Canada. The area is called Muskoka. This is cottage country. It's called the millionaires playground. Lakes, lakes and more lakes. We're interested in doing a home exchange after numerous trips to England and staying with relatives. Need I say more? Thanks for allowing us to poke around on your sight. It's very informative.

Comment: Entry of Feb 23, 2002 at 15:32 [EST]great website! My husband and I spent time in Europe 2 years ago and would love to return on a home or hospitality exchange in the future. We're from Seattle, Washington, about 3 hours south of Vancouver, Canada.

Comment: Entry of Mar 1, 2002 at 20:49 [EST] Excellent.Can not think of any improvments.Nice information from fellow exchangers,gives a good picture from a visitors point of view of things to do and see.When you are ready to come back to Vancouver drop us a line Norm Kaiser

Comment: Entry of Mar 20, 2002 at 16:35 [EST] You have done a wonderful job. I bet you get tons of requests to swap homes. We've only just started and listed our home last week (#20506). Thank you for providing so much information.

Comment: Entry of Apr 24, 2002 at 16:40 [EST] Rob and Nadine... Great site...it really gives the reader a feel for you and your family, as well as for exchanging...I have some great ideas myself now ....sensational and personalised too... regards, Linda

Comment: Entry of Jun 3, 2002 at 17:38 [EST] great web site. I was doing some searches on homeexchange.com and did a search for other families with boys that led me to you. We live in a Southern suburb of Denver Colorado. It sounds like you may have a trip planned here for skiing. I'm not sure if you have ever considered the summer, but White Water Rafting and hiking in the mountains are incredible. Let me know if you have any interest. Great job on your web page and links. It was much appreciated.

Comment: Entry of Jun 14, 2003 at 14:47 [EST] found your site from your link to home exchange. We are members too (listing #31839) and yours is the best listing I've seen yet. (I read them regularly). If you ever decide to visit the east coast of Canada don't hesitate to contact me for info. Good luck with future exchanges.

Comment: Entry of Aug 19, 2003 at 09:27 [EST] I feel as if I know you all personally. Our family live in Tasmania (the apple isle of Australia). We have been looking at maybe home exchanging when I came upon your web page. Just fantastic, am not sure if anyone would be interested in visiting Tasmania - what do u think? We have fantastic scenery, Port Arthur, Wineglass Bay, Cradle Mt and fabulous beaches. Anyway cheers for now. Jill

Comment: Entry of Oct 03, 2003 at 22:26 [EST] Nifty web site! Linked on to your site from Home Exchange. We would like to tempt you with our Anna Maria Island (Florida) beach house for a one week swap at Easter, 2004. Please see our listing at HOMEIVITE.COM, #781. Thank you for your courtesy.

Comment: Entry of Dec 01, 2003 at 01:18 [EST] Great info.Take a bow! Found you looking for somethinmg late 04 UK Home exchange #34371 Vancouver Island Canada. Regards

Comment: Entry of Dec 16, 2004 at 16:00 [EST] was browsing the listings on home exchange.com when i came across your listing. it was great but this homepage is truly fantastic. what a great source of info for prospective exchangers and anyone else wanting to travel to england. my site above is geared to the rental market but is also available for exchange. we live in toronto and vallarta is our second home. we will be in england for a family wedding at ripley castle in yorkshire in early july and we will be travelling through the cotswolds before that. painswick is a personal favourite of ours. perhaps we could contact you at that time and have a conversation about possible exchanges in the future over a pint at your favourite local. cheers jim and laurie henderson

Comment: Entry of Mar 06, 2006 at 21:23 [EST] Dear Rob, This web page is terrific - we've been trawling through various sites trying to arrange a swap for summer 2006 and i'm amazed at the number of swaps you've done. I did try and email you re. a swap but don't think it got throught so I'll try again today. Hope to hear from you. kind regards, kim

Comment: Entry of Jun 04, 2006 at 13:22 [EST] You have a great web site, which I accessed through the HomeExchange page. You did a great job of presenting your home and family, giving us to links to the area and the weather, and telling us about your previous exchanges in words and pictures. We have never exchanged but are considering doing so, and viewing comments such as yours about your experiences are very helpful. I hope that if you ever come back to the Bay Area, you will have a better experience. Best of luck in your future exchanges! You are a great spokesman for the program.

Comment: Entry of Jun 05, 2006 at 03:58 [EST] A great website and an insight into your 'house exchange' family. An inspiration for me to try to design a website for us. Cheers Cathy

Comment: Entry of Jun 06, 2006 at 12:58 [EST] I like your homepage. In May I visited the Cotwalds and found it to be beautiful country. My sister is researching our family history and she discovered that our Washbourne relatives lived in Little Washbourne and Great Washbourne until the 1600s when they left England for America. Do you know anything about the Washbourne family line? Is there anyone left in the Cotswalds that would know? I have an oceanfront 2 BR condo in Boston -if you would be interested in a swap we could discuss details. I have never done a swap but the Cotswalds really interest me because I am interested in finding out more about my ancestors and finding out if I have any distant cousins in the area. Marilyn

Comment: MY GUYS I HAVE ONE BEDROOM FLAT AT TOGO LOME

Comment: I have to admit I knew nothing about The Cotswolds so congratulations on your informative website and the exchanges you have organized. We are still trying to organize our first one to London or close by for 2008. I have sent about 30 emails and fortunately most have replied. The whole process fascinates so I find it difficult to tear myself away from the computer. Our Listing is 69614. Kind regards Evelyn
