When talking to someone, practice good eye

contact. Always look at the person talking.

Don’t look down or look away. Practice at home with family.

Learning good habits at a young age is easier than trying to

change bad habits when you are older.

- Suzanne Greene, Millie Lewis Models and Talent


The Trip of a Lifetime

In the beginning of 2003, I was newly divorced with a 18 month old. After staying with

my sister and her family for 3 months, I had moved in with a friend and was starting

to feel a little more settled. One night I was marveling over the idea that suddenly I

was in charge of my own life. When I asked myself what I wanted it to look like, one

answer came quickly: “I want to TRAVEL.” I wasn’t making much money teaching, but

I did have some time off in the summer, and the friend I was living with did too. We

decided to look into doing a home exchange. That summer, my friend, my son and I

spent three weeks in London -- we stayed in the flat of a couple who came to Charleston

for three weeks with their small son. It could not have been a better experience--there

was a crib, changing table, and a walled patio garden with a soccer ball and toys. We

walked to the grocery store, packed lunches to take on our sightseeing excursions, and

drank Pimm’s cups at a little festival tourists would have missed. There was a folder of

menus for nearby restaurants, maps, and recommendations of things to do, and their

babysitter’s name and phone number. In Charleston we had left them a similar packet

to guide them as they explored the low country. We even stayed in touch for a while,

exchanging care packages: we had gotten hooked on Yorkshire Gold tea; they requested

Captain Crunch.

Doing a home exchange allows families to travel more comfortably and inexpensively--

you get separate bedrooms, outdoor space, a kitchen, and sometimes a car, all without

the huge price tag of a hotel or rental. And you don’t have to have three weeks --

some families do home exchanges for long weekends in the US; for international travel

E X C H A N G E Y O U R D R E A M S O F T R AV E L I N TO

The Trip of a LifetimeCaroline Baxter Lambert



it would be better to have a week to ten days. One home exchange veteran of 24

exchanges reports, “We have made MANY trips that most people would consider a ‘trip

of a lifetime’ by choosing to travel this way.”

If this sounds intriguing, start by checking out one of the many popular websites. In my

recent research, the ones I found most often mentioned were:

• www.homeExchange.com

• www.intervac.net

• www.homelink.org

• www.homebase-hols.com

All of these charge a fee-- most home exchange veterans recommend staying away from

free sites. At HomeExchange you pay $9.95 per month to join for a year -- that seem

to be about the going rate. At homelink there is a discussion forum -- you can read, ask

questions, post queries and make special requests. There is also a website that lets you

compare all the websites: www.home-exchange.findthebest. This site lists membership

fees, numbers of listings, and exchange types available.

If you are interested, you might want to go on HomeExchange just to browse. Take a

look at the photos of the houses being offered and check out the locations. You can look

for availability at your dream destination, or search by dates that you’d like to travel.

You can also do a reverse search to check out the list of people who are specifically

looking to do a home exchange in your area. (Go to “Advanced search” on the upper

right of the home page, click on “Members interested in going to,” then put in US and

your city and state in the pull down menus.) When I did a quick search on the Charleston

area, there were many appealing options: an apartment on Manhattan’s upper east side,

a historic house in Key West, a ski cabin in Utah, a house with a pool in California’s wine

country, as well as several places in France. Each entry indicates whether children

are welcome, how many people the house sleeps, and whether smoking and pets are

allowed. With Charleston being a hugely popular destination, there are sure to be many

opportunities year round.



How to Get StartedStart well before the time that you want to travel. You will need to provide photos of

your house to post on the site, and write a brief description of your what your home has

to offer, as well as your location. Then you can write to people you are interested in

exchanging with, and can expect some inquiries on your place. Respond promptly and

be flexible---you may not end up with your first choice. One family was looking for a

trip to the south of France, but got no acceptances. Instead they enjoyed a great trip to

Amsterdam.

When you have said no thanks to ones you aren’t interested in, and found a good match,

start corresponding. One experienced exchanger recommends emailing back and forth

for a month or two with details and questions, as well as a Skyping or phone calls. You

should feel comfortable talking and planning -- if it doesn’t feel like a good fit, move on.

The websites streamline the process. There are forms to fill out so both parties will have

in writing what is expected in terms of taking care of each other’s homes. Many families

agree to exchange cars, and most insurance policies will allow for this, though you

should check the details on your own policy. Some travelers report exchanging pet care

duties as well, while others opt out of this.

Tips from Expert Exchangers Get your house exchange ready. Fix things that need to be fixed, and really do a deep

clean. Try to have a couple of empty drawers and some create some closet space. You

can use this as your motivation to do some decluttering and fix ups you’ve been meaning

to do.

Start putting together the manual for living where you live. Include directions on how

to operate things that might be a little mysterious, where the fuse box is, when trash

pick up is, what can be recycled. Make a list of good places to shop, your favorite

restaurants, insider scoop on having a good time -- happy hours, when the traffic out to

Folly is the worst-- things you’d like to know if you were visiting. Start a collection of

takeout menus.



Although everyone I read about had good experiences, it makes sense to lock up or put

away anything that is particularly valuable, delicate or irreplaceable.

Complete a written home exchange agreement. It will help you think of things you

might overlook, and it is always good to have things in writing.

The Details

If you decide to do an exchange, make a list of what is important to you in taking care

of your home. Be clear, definite and pleasant when you go over the list on the phone

or in emails. You should know each other’s views on smoking, pets, lawn care, and the

availability of washer and dryer, long distance, and cleaning services. Will you exchange

cars? How will keys be exchanged? Some people hide a key, others mail them ahead of

time.

If you are nervous about an exchange, veterans recommend talking to others who have

done it. Doing your first exchange with someone who is experienced may make the

process easier. Also consider doing a short, close by exchange before trying one overseas.

If one of your dreams is to travel more, a home exchange may be exactly what you need

to get on the road.

What Size Should I Be?

This is one of the most commonly asked questions when it comes to breast enhancement

surgery. Cosmetic breast enhancement is also one of the most often requested

procedures, either alone, or as part of a “mommy makeover” that so many mom’s might

feel they would like to have after kids.

The answer is not as simple as “250 cc’s” versus “350 cc’s”, or “a full C” or “a small

D” since breast implant options today are more numerous than ever. Breast implant

manufacturers realize women come in all sizes and shapes. Some need more projection;

some need less. Some need more of a lift, some not at all. Trying to determine if you

need a lift, or an augmentation, or both, requires a careful evaluation by a board

certified plastic surgeon whom you feel you can trust, and who both listens to your

concerns, and understands your goals. The other helpful guide is to see plenty of “before

and after” photographs of surgery performed by that plastic surgeon so that you can feel

reassured not only of your surgeon’s skills, but of his or her sense of aesthetics.

New Implants

What is new and exciting in breast augmentation is that in recent months, “anatomic” or

“shaped” implants have been approved by the FDA for both cosmetic and reconstructive

purposes. These implants may, in certain cases, provide more of a natural tear drop

shape to the breast, rather than a traditional round implant. They also may allow for

more of a lift effect without the need for an actual breast lift, which often requires

extra scars on the breast that most women would like to avoid.

The goal for a natural and pretty breast enhancement is to avoid an exaggerated round

upper fullness that tells the whole world you have breast implants. Very few women

of any age are actually seeking that look, and that is certainly true for most moms.

Recovery from most breast enhancement surgery, be it augmentation or lift, is usually

about 7-10 days to feel about 85% recovered, but you may need to avoid strenuous

exercise such as jogging, yoga, or Pilates for about three more weeks to avoid any

complications, which should be rare.
