"Sounds like a great idea.
Except: WHO WANTS TO VACATION IN GLENCOE?!
(I'm allowed to say that, having spent my formative years there.) "
The IQ's comment, along with that of Lois

Not sure where Glencoe is (sounds familiar) but I grew up in southwestern Ont (Wiarton, Markdale, Chesley, Hanover) and many home exchangers would love a holiday in beautiful rural Ontario!I have lived most of my adult life in London, England, and have operated a worldwide home exchange agency, Home Base Holidays, for 20 years. Have a look at the exchange offers available.
have made me curious as to whether anyone out there would be interested in spending a week or two of their valuable vacation time in a small village of 2000 people in Southwestern Ontario.
Glencoe is a rural community with a high school, a public elementary school and a Catholic elementary school. It has 3 small factories, 2 auto parts and 1 shoes, along with a number of other small community features such as playing fields, a public swimming pool, an arena ( ice hockey and figure skating), a small business district, and a rail road track that splits the town into 2 parts. It has churches and a Lions Club, a Lioness Club and a Rotary Club. It is part of the Municipality of SouthWest Middlesex http://www.southwestmiddlesex.ca
We live just outside the Glencoe limits on a 31 acre hobby farm. We lease the land to the farmer across the road. We have a 4 bedroom house, built in 1981. It has a living room, dining room and family room. It is about 2300 sq. ft., with a partially finished basement. The house is air conditioned.
We have a dog, a very friendly Lab, and a very old (20 yrs.) cat along with a number of goldfish, number unknown, that survived the winter in our backyard pond.
We have birds, finches, tree swallows, etc. and the occasional raccoon and skunk.
We are about a 40 minute drive from London Ontario and about 2.5 - 3 hours from Toronto. We are also about 1.5 hours from Windsor and Detroit.
I will give some more details about Glencoe in another post, possibly tomorrow.
So to the 1 or 2 none-family members who might read my blog, other than the IQ who has already expressed her biased opinion, what do you think?
March 28, 2005
Lois just commented on my blog.She operates www.homebase-hols.com from London, England. If you are interested have a look.
"Just imagine ... you're relaxing in your exchange home after a long day of travelling or sightseeing. Perhaps you are sitting on the balcony of your apartment in Sydney, watching the sun go down over the harbour? Or, your home base is a quaint 17th century cottage, with an open fire, in the English countryside in early spring? Maybe you have just returned to your California beach house for a barbeque after a long walk along the shore at sunset?
Whatever your own idea of a perfect home for a special holiday, stop dreaming! Check out the hundreds of exchange offers and discover your own special home swap vacation base."

MICHIGAN STATE IN THE FINAL 4!!!My underdog favourites even though I am picking
Illinois to win over UNC
"Home Exchange: a different way of travelling. Have you ever thought of going on holiday without spending a dime except on the plane ticket? Would you like to travel while staying at a home away from home within your budget? If so, then the home exchange formula is for you! "
I have been looking into the concept of Home Exchange as a possible future travel experience. A friend of ours did this 2x and was quite taken with it. They are planning to do it again.
There are a fairly large number of groups, with web sites dedicated to home exchanges. I have looked at a few:
http://www.another-home.com/index.html , http://www.homelink.ca , http://intervac-online.com , http://www.4homex.com/teacher.htm , http://www.seniorshomeexchange.com
You can view the available exchanges on these sites, but they operate as a club, in most cases, and you have to pay an annual fee to join, and to get your info listed. Some specialize in a particular country, but most are global.

Top 6 Paris AttractionsGuide Picks
From Kelby Carr,Your Guide to France for Visitors.FREE Newsletter. Sign Up Now!
Six attractions in Paris draw a whopping 23.5 million visitors yearly. With the hundreds of museums and monuments in the grand City of Lights, take this short list to be sure you catch the best spots. After all, could millions of people be THAT wrong?
1) Eiffel Tower
This is one of the world's most recognizable monuments (and the best-known monument in all of Europe), and it is breathtaking to behold. Be sure to take the lift to the top for a spectacular view of the city. This attraction alone drew 6.2 million visitors in 2002, according to Paris Office of Tourism statistics.
2) Louvre Museum
Arguably the world's most famous art museum, the Louvre's most popular piece is Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa." It was established in 1793, and is one of the oldest museums in Europe. Its collections spans from the birth of great civilizations up to the 19th century. A whopping 5.7 million tourists visited the museum in 2002.
3) Centre Pompidou
The funky and hip Centre Pompidou features a wonderful collection of modern art within its creatively designed building. It also features a cinema, concerts and children's activities. The Centre attracts 5.5 million visitors annually.
4) Cite des Sciences at de l'Industrie
This fun, hands-on science museum attracts 2.5 million visitors each year, with its cool exhibits on anatomy, biology, you name it.
5) Musee d'Orsay
This museum may not be the massive size of Louvre, but its Impressionist collection is among the best in the world. The museum is housed in a former rail station, and has the atmosphere and personality to match. The Musee d'Orsay attracts 2.1 million visitors annually.
6) Arc de Triomphe
Climb to the top for one of the best views of Paris. No, it doesn't go as high as the Eiffel Tower. But since the city is relatively flat, the vantage point at this height is actually better. The arch brings in 1.4 million visitors each year.

Jetsgo proposes new flight planCourt-appointed monitor files report`I'm dumbfounded,' says one creditor
TONY WONGBUSINESS REPORTERJetsgo — or some version of the failed airline — wants to fly again and a court-appointed monitor is proposing that as an option to creditors. But selling the idea faces a very bumpy ride.
"The objective would be to file a plan that will permit an airline business to continue as a growing concern," said a status report on the company released yesterday by RSM Richter Inc., the court-appointed monitor.

Madelaine Gierc, 16, is seen in a photograph held by her mother Lael at their home in Duncan, B.C., yesterday. The teenager, in Greece on a school trip, has been held behind bars in Athens for the past two days after picking up a rock at the Acropolis.B.C. teen freed until trial in Greece
ATHENS, Greece (AP-CP) — A Canadian teen arrested on charges of violating Greece's strict antiquity laws has been freed from custody and will be allowed to return home.
Madelaine Gierc, 16, of Duncan, B.C., was arrested Sunday after a security guard saw her allegedly removing a stone from the 2,500-year-old Parthenon at the Acropolis. She was charged with illegally possessing antiquities.
Trip ends in ruins
Investigating Magistrate Melpomeni Chiotou today ruled that she would not be detained pending trial and could leave the country.
Only a former geography teacher, organizer of many student fieldtrips, can appreciate how a teenager is capable of turning the best organized event into a disaster. All my sympathies are with the chaperones and the Greeks.

.The state of the travel industry as a result of Jetsgo's demise is perhaps best illustrated by the fact that some of the sites, online, still are displaying the Jestgo logo. Come on site administrators, its time to bury Jetsgo. Everyone interested has already read the statement.
If it's President ever starts another airline, as many are predicting, run, don't walk, to some other airline.
Three strikes and take a hike!
A word for the unwary. I have expressed my opinion that travel agents are the way to go when booking a trip. That way you can avoid the problems of those who booked Jetsgo online.
But there are still traps for the unwary when booking a trip. If one assumes that the objective of most people is to get the best value for your travel $, then here are some tips. You should rarely or never pay the price listed in any travel brochure.
Discount travel agents have access to any package available. For example there are discount travel agencies that advertise up to 13% off any trip. Companies such as Flight Centre will beat any price you get ( although sometimes its only by $1. But you should be able to negotiate better than that. Don't be afraid to go to different places and show them exactly what you have been quoted by a competitor. If they want your business they should be prepared to beat it by at least $20 per person.
How low can you go? You only know when you start meeting absolute resistance, or the $1 better than the best you have. If you want the best price start early and do some negotiating, or wait for a last-minute deal.
I recently booked with Commodore Travel in Oshawa and saved $600.00 from what I was quoted by Sears Travel for exactly the same thing ( a booking for 4 people ). I am not convinced that I couldn't have done a bit better, but I was getting tired of running around and negotiating so I took the best deal at the time.
If you want the best deal then don't do as I did, and quit when you get tired. We were also feeling a bit of pressure because we were not very flexible in what we wanted, and all the talk of rising prices as a fall-out from Jetsgo.
Hey, if you are going to contact Commodore Travel in Oshawa, ask for Tiffany Johnson ( 905-433-1444 or 1-866-432-1444) or tiff.commodore@bellnet.ca or visit www.commodoretravel.ca

Robert Johnson had been retired for a year when his wife of fifty years suggested one day, "Why don't we take a cruise for a week and make wild passionate love like we did when we were young?"He thought it over and agreed. Bob put on his hat and coat and went down to the corner drug store. He stepped up to the counter and asked for a bottle of seasick pills and a box of condoms.
Upon returning home his wife greeted him at the door saying, "You know dear, I've been thinking it over. I see no reason why we couldn't manage a month-long cruise. so we could relax and make wild passionate love like we did when we were young."
Bob smiled, turned around, and went back to the pharmacy. He stepped up and ordered 12 bottles of seasick pills and a dozen boxes of condoms. Upon returning back home, his wife met him on the porch with a big smile on her face. "Bob, I have a marvelous idea. You know, now that our children are all on their own, there's nothing to stop us from cruising around the world."
"I'll be right back," he said. Back to the drug store he went. When he approached the pharmacy counter, the druggist looked up with a puzzled grin. Bob sheepishly ordered 200 bottles of seasick pills and the same number of boxes of condoms.
The startled pharmacist busied himself filling the order, then passed the wrapped package across the counter saying, "You know, Mr. Johnson, you've been doing business with me for over thirty years. I certainly don't mean to pry, but if it makes you that sick, why do you keep doing it?"

Buying PaintBUYING PAINT FROM A HARDWARE STORE
Customer: Hi. How much is your paint? Clerk: We have regular quality for $12 a gallon and premium for $18. How many gallons would you like?
Customer: Five gallons of regular quality, please.
Clerk: Great. That will be $60 plus tax.
BUYING PAINT FROM AN AIRLINE
Customer: Hi, how much is your paint?
Clerk: Well, sir, that all depends.
Customer: Depends on what?
Clerk: Actually, a lot of things.
Customer: How about giving me an average price?
Clerk: Wow, that's too hard a question. The lowest price is $9 a gallon, and we have 150 different prices up to $200 a gallon.
Customer: What's the difference in the paint?
Clerk: Oh, there isn't any difference; it's all the same paint.
Customer: Well, then, I'd like some of that $9 paint.
Clerk: Well, first I need to ask you a few questions. When do you intend to use it?
Customer: I want to paint tomorrow, on my day off.
Clerk: Sir, the paint for tomorrow is the $200 paint.
Customer: What? When would I have to paint in order to get the $9 version?
Clerk: That would be in three weeks, but you will also have to agree to start painting before
Friday of that week and continue painting until at least Sunday
Customer: You've got to be kidding!
Clerk: Sir, we don't kid around here. Of course, I'll have to check to see if we have any of that paint available before I can sell it to you.
Customer: What do you mean check to see if you can sell it to me? You have shelves full of that stuff; I can see it right there.
Clerk: Just because you can see it doesn't mean that we have it. It may be the same paint, but we sell only a certain number of gallons on any given weekend. Oh, and by the way, the price just went to $12.
Customer: You mean the price went up while we were talking!
Clerk: Yes, sir. You see, we change prices and rules thousands of times a day, and since you haven't actually walked out of the store with your paint yet, we just decided to change. Unless you want the same thing to happen again, I would suggest that you get on with your purchase. How many gallons do you want?
Customer: I don't know exactly. Maybe five gallons. Maybe I should buy six gallons just to make sure I have enough.
Clerk: Oh, no, sir, you can't do that. If you buy the paint and then don't use it, you will be liable for penalties and possible confiscation of the paint you already have.
Customer: What?
Clerk: That's right. We can sell you enough paint to do your kitchen, bathroom, hall and north bedroom, but if you stop painting before you do the bedroom, you will be in violation of our tariffs.
Customer: But what does it matter to you whether I use all the paint? I already paid you for it!
Clerk: Sir, there's no point in getting upset; that's just the way it is. We make plans based upon the idea that you will use all the paint, and when you don't, it just causes us all sorts of problems.
Customer: This is crazy! I suppose something terrible will happen if I don't keep painting until after Saturday night!
Clerk: Yes, sir, it will.
Customer: Well, that does it! I'm going somewhere else to buy my paint.
Clerk: That won't do you any good, sir. We all have the same rules. Thanks for painting with our airline.
Have a Drink
An elderly doctor and a Presbyterian minister were seated next to each other on the plane. The plane was delayed at the start due to some technical problems.
Just after taking off, the pilot offered his apologies to the passengers and announced that a round of free drinks would be served.
When the charming air-hostess came round with the trolley, the doctor ordered a gin and tonic for himself.
The hostess then asked the minister whether he wanted anything. He replied, "Oh no thank you. I would rather commit adultery than drink alcohol".
The elderly doctor promptly handed back his gin and tonic to the air-hostess and said, "Madam, I did not know there was a choice."

French Travel AdvisoryThis is a fictitious "take-off" or parody of the type of travel advisories and officialese country summaries that are sometimes distributed by the US Government. While the primary focus of the parody is in fact the US rather than France, in the likely event that some French people may choose to be offended by the following, well, all we can say in reply to that is "Rainbow Warrior" and "Mururoa". :)
The following advisory for American travelers heading for France was compiled from information provided by the US State Department, the Central Intelligence Agency, the US Chamber of Commerce, the Food and Drug Administration, the Centers for Disease Control, and some very expensive spy satellites that the French don't know about. It is intended as a guide for American travelers only.
General Overview
France is a medium-sized foreign country situated in the continent of Europe. It is an important member of the world community, though not nearly as important as it thinks. It is bounded by Germany, Spain, Switzerland and some smaller nations of no particular consequence and with not very good shopping.
France is a very old country with many treasures, such as the Louvre and EuroDisney. Among its contributions to western civilization are champagne, Camembert cheese and the guillotine.
Although France likes to think of itself as a modern nation, air conditioning is little used and it is next to impossible to get decent Mexican food. One continuing exasperation for American visitors is that the people willfully persist in speaking French, though many will speak English if shouted at. As in any foreign country, watch your change at all times.
The People
France has a population of 54 million people, most of whom drink and smoke a great deal, drive like lunatics, are dangerously oversexed, and have no concept of standing patiently in line. The French people are in general gloomy, temperamental, proud, arrogant, aloof, and undisciplined; and those are their good points.
Most French citizens are Roman Catholic, though you would hardly guess it from their behavior. Many people are communists, and topless sunbathing is common. Men sometimes have girls' names like Marie, and they kiss each other when they hand out medals.
American travelers are advised to travel in groups and to wear baseball caps and colorful trousers for easier mutual recognition.
Safety
In general, France is a safe destination, though travelers are advised that, from time to time, it is invaded by Germany. By tradition, the French surrender more or less at once and, apart from a temporary shortage of Scotch whisky and increased difficulty in getting baseball scores and stock market prices, life for the visitor generally goes on much as before. A tunnel connecting France to Britain beneath the English Channel has been opened in recent years to make it easier for the Government to flee to London.
History
France was discovered by Charlemagne in the Dark Ages. Other important historical figures are Louis XIV, the Huguenots, Joan of Arc, Jacques Cousteau, and Charles de Gaulle, who was President for many years and is now an airport.
Government
The French form of government is democratic but noisy. Elections are held more or less continuously, and always result in a run-off. For administrative purposes, the country is divided into regions, departments, districts, municipalities, cantons, communes, villages, cafes, booths, and floor tiles.
Parliament consists of two chambers, the Upper and Lower (though, confusingly, they are both on the ground floor), whose members are either Gaullists or communists, neither of whom is to be trusted, frankly. Parliament's principal preoccupations are setting off atomic bombs in the South Pacific, and acting indignant when anyone complains.
According to the most current State Department intelligence, the President now is someone named Jacques. Further information is not available at this time.
Culture
The French pride themselves on their culture, though it is not easy to see why. All their songs sound the same, and they have hardly ever made a movie that you would want to watch for anything but the nude scenes. And nothing, of course, is more boring than a French novel.
Cuisine
Let's face it, no matter how much garlic you put on it, a snail is just a slug with a shell on its back. Croissants, on the other hand, are excellent, though it is impossible for most Americans to pronounce this word. In general, travelers are advised to stick to cheeseburgers at leading hotels such as Sheraton and Holiday Inn.
Economy
France has a large and diversified economy, second only to Germany's in Europe, which is surprising because people hardly work at all.
If they are not spending four hours dawdling over lunch, they are on strike and blocking the roads with their trucks and tractors. France's principal exports, in order of importance to the economy, are wine, nuclear weapons, perfume, guided missiles, champagne, high-caliber weaponry, grenade launchers, land mines, tanks, attack aircraft, miscellaneous armaments and cheese.
Public Holidays
France has more holidays than any other nation in the world. Among its 361 national holidays are 197 saints' days, 37 National Liberation Days, 16 Declaration of Republic Days, 54 Return of Charles de Gaulle in Triumph as if he Won the War Single-Handed Days, 18 Napoleon Sent into Exile Days, 17 Napoleon Called Back from Exile Days, and 112 France is Great and the Rest of the World is Rubbish Days. Other important holidays are National Nuclear Bomb Day (January 12), the Feast of St. Brigitte Bardot Day (March 1), and National Guillotine Day (November 12).
Conclusion
France enjoys a rich history, a picturesque and varied landscape, and a temperate climate. In short, it would be a very nice country if it weren't inhabited by French people.
A Word of Warning
The consular services of the United States government are intended solely for the promotion of the interests of American businesses such as McDonald's, Pizza Hut, and the Coca-Cola Corporation. In the event that you are the victim of a crime or serious injury involving at least the loss of a limb, report to the American Embassy between the hours of 5.l5 am and 5.20 am on a Tuesday or Wednesday, and a consular official who is supremely
indifferent to your plight will give you a list of qualified dentists or something similarly useless.
Remember, no one ordered you to go abroad. Personally, we always take our holidays at Miami Beach, and you are advised to as well.
Thank you and good luck.

We are in the process of planning our trip to Paris. We have been looking for an apartment to rent in the 5th or 6th A. We have found many sites with apartment rentals but http://www.homelidays.com appears to be the best for our purposes. We are looking for an apartment for 4 people so it complicates the process a bit. We have narrowed it down to 3 possibilities and are trying to make the final selection. The 6th A is our preferred location so that will be a major factor in our decision. The 6th is the most expensive part of Paris to stay in the summer. We are planning for early to mid-June. Unfortunately the flights get more and more expensive as the summer goes on.

We haven't gone to the USA for a vacation in several years. Here are the top 10 reasons why.10. Dubya didn't invite us to the ranch. We feel we have been snubbed so are retaliating.
9. The USA has never learned to make a decent cup of tea. So much for Tony Blair.
8. The USA takes our toxic garbage so it is healthier to stay at home.
7. Americans don't like our money so I figure the neighbourly thing to do is not to give them any if mine.
6. If I want to be met with machine guns at the border I will go to someplace in Central because it is warmer.
5. Given the state of readiness of the US missile defense system, it is probably safer not to be in the land it is trying to defend.
4. Being a Canadian might be construed as being un-American, therefore I don't want to end up in a US jail
3. I'm left handed.
4. I learned, recently, that freedom fries are actually made from grits and pig intestines.
3. My wife says Florida sucks.
2. The NRA claims " guns don't kill, people do". There are far too many people in the USA for me to want to visit if that is true.
1. I don't want to be away from home when Condosleasy comes to visit our house.

I came across this site in looking for info on Paris. there is some good stuff at http://www.worldweb.com. For info on Paris http://www.paris.worldweb.com/index.html .5-year passport not quite what it's touted to be
SUSAN PIGGNoel Fitzsimmons and her family found out the hard way recently that Canada's five-year passports are sometimes only good for 4 1/2 years.
Fitzsimmons was shocked to be told at Pearson airport that there was a glitch with her Conquest Vacations trip to Honduras because that Central American country requires travellers to have passports valid for six months beyond the end of their trip. ( follow link to Susan Pigg to read the rest )
George V Hotel is in full bloom
MARC ATCHISONTRAVEL EDITOR PARIS—The sweet smell of success.
That's what greets guests when they enter the world renowned Four Seasons George V Hotel.
Okay, the smell isn't exactly success — although the George V certainly qualifies as one of the most successful hotels in the world; one of Paris' chic palace properties that has hosted lots of kings and queens since opening its regal doors in 1928.
The sweet smell we are talking about comes from the glorious flower arrangements that dominate the public areas of the George V — starting in the lobby. ( link to Marc A. Toronto star to reead the rest )
