CHEAP SUMMER TRAVEL

We just become a one-income family but we can still take a luxurious summer road trip thanks to home exchange.

We will escape the August heat by driving to Europe.

How long does it take to drive to  Europe from New York City?  Just six hours if, like me, you think of Montreal as France without the hassles.

We will be using a huge swap house in the Plateau, our favorite Montreal neighborhood.  We have swapped with these exchangers twice before in the last decade.

Montreal is just the first stop in a three week swap vacation.  More of our itinerary to follow.
