I am semi-retired, currently engaged in digital collections projects for cultural heritage institutions. My husband and I did 40 successful exchanges between 1998 and 2018 (22 international and nine in New York City), a number of them with our two adult daughters. For a summer 2024 exchange, my daughters and I are hoping to do a family exchange (six of us, including my two grandchildren, who will be 8 and 9) to the UK. For other exchanges, either my older daughter or a friend might accompany me. I am interested in destinations that have family connections, particularly the UK internationally, and the New York City metro area, coastal southern California or the Pacific Northwest domestically. At present I have no pets; I am happy to provide cat care, as we have done on many previous exchanges.

Descripción de la casa que ofrecemos en intercambio
Our house is ideally located for exploring all that Newport has to offer. Walking distance to world-class tennis, boating, culture, history, and shopping. In addition, our car has a Newport resident pass for street parking around town and a beach parking pass, as well as an EZ pass for travel on toll roads throughout New England and New York. The house has all the necessary conveniences for a comfortable stay and a yard with mature landscaping and grill. With two bedrooms on the main floor, a third in the living space below, two and a half baths, plus a daybed in the family room, it can accommodate 4-7 people.

Descripción de nuestro barrio y la zona en que se encuentra
Our house is ideally located on a quiet street of single-family homes between the harbor/downtown and the ocean (all within walking distance). Bellevue Avenue, shops and public transport are two blocks away, and almost all area attractions, including the Cliff Walk and mansions, are within easy walking distance.

Dónde ir y qué hacer mientras se esté en nuestra casa
Newport (http://www.discovernewport.org/) and surrounding areas have a wealth of attractions. The Cliff Walk and beach are a ten-minute walk away. Many of Newport's famed Gilded Age mansions, Tennis Hall of Fame, Sailing Museum and and automobile museum, as well as downtown and harbor areas are also within easy walking distance. Downtown and nearby areas include many colonial houses and public and religious buildings from the city's 18th-century golden age, such as the fourth-oldest statehouse (1739) and the oldest synagogue (1763) in the country. Unique shops and a variety of restaurants draw visitors to downtown and the adjacent area around the harbor. As a major center for yachting, Newport's harbor is an attraction in itself, with many opportunities for on- and off-the-water exploration. Newport's Ocean Drive is a great option for driving or biking excursions. Nature preserves on and off the island provide opportunities for walks and bird-watching. Boston, New York, and other New England/northeast destinations are easily accessible for day or overnight trips.

Lo qué nos gusta y lo qué no... Estas son nuestras preferencias y normas domésticas.
FOR 2024 INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL, I am seeking an exchange for our family (six of us, four adults and my two grandchildren, ages 8 and 9) in England or Wales. We would prefer London, or another city or town with access to good, convenient public transport. The time period we have in mind is two weeks, tentatively from late June until mid-August. FOR DOMESTIC TRAVEL in 2024, for any time period (except for July-through August 15), I am interested in weekend, long weekend, or possibly one-two week exchanges in the Metro New York City area at any mutually convenient time. Coastal Southern California and the Pacific Northwest are also of interest. Our older daughter or a friend may join me for some domestic exchanges.
