ONE OF the least expensive
ways of visiting other cities
is to trade. homes with
another family.

Aside from free accommodation

and facilities for cooking and |

laundry you will have the back-ups
such as phone numbers for reliable
doctors, dentists, repair’ shops,
babysitters, and even shopping
tips.

It's wise to size-up potential
traders carefully. If you've got a
houseful of kids you would be bet-
ter trading with a family. In addi-
tion to the house being more
“child-proof" it's likely that there
will be ample play space and even
some new friends.
