Vacation Exchanges

What are the best web sites for vacation exchanges? Have both a home and a condo in Hawaii and want to swap one or both for three weeks in Northern Italy and one week in London next spring, May or June. Mahalo

There are many online now. We have been using the same one since 1995 with great results. They predate the Internet with more than 50 years in existence but now of course they are only online, no more big fat book to thumb through. They are www.homelink.org. Last year we also joined one of the newer exchange companies when we were having more difficulty finding an exchange. They has some great properties but we ended up finding an exchange with our long time agency. The newer agency that we joined is www.homesforexchange.com. You can see what is being offered by visiting these sites as a guest before you pay any money to sign up. As a matter of fact I studied the second site for a couple of months to make sure it had enough properties in the area we wanted to go to before I paid for a membership. We've had wonderful exchanges w/o any problems.

Thanks Tom for the question and Mona for the links. I've started to think about possible home exchanges. Mona, is the second link supposed to be www.homeforexchange.com - no "s"?
