Hi Hank

I am sure your home in Florida will be popular for a home exchange during the period of the Olympics next summer. There are many Home Base Holidays members in London and nearby already offering their homes for exchange at that time. Browse listings (see link below) and join Home Base Holidays soon to start contacting members to suggest an exchange.

Cheers!
