Heidi, a Home Base Holidays member, has started a blog, Kiwi McLeods on Tour, to keep family and friends (and us!) updated on their trip which will take them to several cities in Europe - London, Paris, Prague, Berlin, Galway, Oxford - plus various parts of the UK and Ireland, in a part work related, part holiday/visits to friends trip, including two home swaps in England (in Swindon and Woking). See Heidi's detailed post, '8 Sleeps to go...'. It will be fun to check back during the next few weeks to see how the Kiwi McLeods are doing as their trip progresses, especially during the times they will be staying in their home exchange partners' homes in England. It sounds like a very full schedule so Heidi may not have time to add new posts too often during the trip. She is sure to have lots of photos to add to her blog though after their return to Auckland (a two day flight, arriving home on 12 January, as Heidi says, 'tired, broke, travelled out but with great memories I hope!') A post here a few weeks ago had featured another Home Base Holidays member's travelblog. Londoner, John Edwards (HE15778), kept a record of his family's trip to the USA this summer, including two home exchanges in California, on his California Dreaming blog. John has recently added more descriptive posts and great photos of the trip. A home exchange (or any) travelblog can be on-going!The McLeod family (Heidi, Ross, little Olivia and Granny Di) will now have only 'two sleeps to go' before leaving Auckland en route to their big adventure in Europe, with a first stop over at friends' in Dubai (22 hour flight with a two year old!)
The McLeods' home is a sunny, modern family house, in the eco-city of Waitakere 20 minutes west of downtown Auckland, New Zealand. The family is already looking forward to further home swaps in 2006/07! Check out their exchange offer, HE16383.
