Directories help to
track down homes

From Page 44

Worse, we bad our dog with us,
Since dogs arent welcome in mast
tourist attractions, we bad tu lock
her in the carport. She didn't ap-
preciate it one bit but the ants
gobbled up her dog food --- and
streamed into the kitchen to find
the source of supply

Anyway, an exterminator took
eare of the ants and all went well
until the last night. At dinner, one
of the kids dumped a glass of
grape Kool-Aid on the carpet.

That was it for us with house
trading.

vee

The ideal house traders are cou-
ples with no kids or pets. Their
home or condo is comfortable but
not filled with priceless antiques.

They will alert the neighbors so
they can provide assistance if nec-
essary but also so the neighbors
can keep an eye out for anything
unusual happening — such as a
_ moving van pulling up to the door.

if { were trading our house (fat
chance - we’ve got too many cats),
I'd leave operating instructions for
any equipment requiring — skill.
Also, I’d mark any items that
don’t operate properly (we've got
one or two, haven't you?) so that
the guests wouldn't think they'd
‘done the deed.

I'd leave our doctor’s number,
dentist, repair people, hairdresser
also. Maps to the best shopping
would be a good idea as well as
phone numbers for pizza and
Chinese food. _ ’

It’s a good idea to cancel news-
papers and milk delivery but if you
have a regular cleaner I'd be temp-
ted to have them come, even if I
paid for it.

Now, how do you find a suitable
exchange?

Other than watching for, or
placing ads in newspapers and
magazines and asking friends, here
are a few of the directories I’ve
tracked down:
