BALI !!

You can imagine my excitement yesterday when I opened my emails and found an offer to swap a beautiful home in Bali which read like this!!!

It comes with staff who will look after your every need. We have a full time house maid, massage therapist, gardener/poolman and full security. The view from the house and poolside is breathtaking. Photos cannot do it justice. The home is beautifully appointed with all modern western facilites and exudes true Bali style. Whether you choose to relax by the infinity pool or lay quietly in the garden gazebo no visitor to our villa could be dissappointed.

I was very sad to find out that at the time they are wanting the exchange I will be on my trip to Lord Howe Island but, luckily, with some quick thinking on my part, I made contact with the owners and mentioned that I couldn't do the swap at this time but would be very happy to do it at another time. An immediately reply was to say we will most certainly keep in touch. So, not all lost!!

This is just a small example of what can happen when you become a house swapper ...very exciting I must say.

  1. Hi dear. I just checked in briefly from Narellan library in Sydney. I shall be here for another few days. No doubt about it. You don't miss a trick do you. Hope your trip to Bali works out another time then. Nice post.

  2. Thank you my friend,I hope all is ok for you in Sydney and you come back not feeling like you do sometimes. I guess a little different these days though????

    I am wanting to write a post about my very first house swap but my story that I wrote at the time is in my computer in Aussi so everyone will have to wait for that episode.
