We are both non-smoking,professionals in our late 50's currently looking for exchanges in the south during our winter periods. We would welcome an exchange somewhere along the SE coast of Canada or US. We would also consider short term exchanges closer to home. Irene is retired but Daryl continues to work via the internet and, for this reason, a broadband internet access is necessary. We would love to hear from you, provide more photos or answer any inquires you may have.
