>Ever considered one of those 'home swap' deals? Can be a way of having an 'almost' free vacation if you're happy committing to one place for the duration.....

I've heard of those, and it sounds like a fun idea ... but who the heck would want to swap with us and spend their vacation in Ellensburg?!?! <g> It's too far from Seattle, or any place interesting really, to be a hot destination spot.
