Thanks, traveller69. That's not a bad idea. We have talked about it - trying to decide whether or not to return to either Victoria or Vancouver.

Seriously, something worth considering.

Traveller69: I just mentioned your suggestion to N. First thing he said: "if we go back to Victoria, I want to go back to the White Heather." Funny, how that place stands out in his mind. It was very enjoyable the day we were there and they were super nice to us.

Annetti - Well you will definitely have to come back and we can meet for "tea". The food is excellent (and plentiful) there and they are extremely hospitable I just wish it was a little bit roomier.

traveller69: You are rt - the place is small and even though there were two of us, it was hard to get reservations for the time we requested. If we return to Victoria, we'll take you up on the offer and meet for tea.

I had such nice responses from the Victoria people on my postings.

Have you considered Montreal for your home exchange? Or, Quebec City? Or, Ottawa?

OceanBreeze1: Thanks for the suggestions. We have spent some time in Montreal, Quebec City and Ottawa, though it has been ages. I'll run it by N.

Also, for Montreal, Quebec City or Ottawa you can expand your time frame. The month of May would be a beautiful time to visit any of those cities. Or, June, July, August, Sept or October.

Annetti,

A person posted on the travel tips and trip ideas forum asking for information about home exchanges (best websites etc.) and I thought of you. Perhaps you could provide the person some guidance (not sure if you check that forum or not).

Thank you. Shellidawn. I tried to answer the questions. Hopefully, I provided some useful information. No never have looked at it, never knew that forum existed.
