Hi everyone,
I recently decided to join a major Home Exchange company in an attempt to save on travel accommodations going forward.
I have enough miles to go to Europe this year but had just recently decided not to go because I can't find time to go prior to November now basically. After joining this Home Exchange site, I got an offer to do an exchange with a couple in Paris over Christmas for like a week or so.
So...free flight and free accommodations. Their place seems pretty nice...not extravagant, small of course, but nice. Very close to the Eiffel Tower. Great reviews on the website. The thing is, I was thinking now I'd use my miles to go someplace warm since I live in a city that gets FREEZING cold over the winter. I have been to Paris once in December and although I didn't stay long I got an idea of what the weather would be like. Shorter days, some rain, 50s or so, etc.
Just curious as to if others would take up this offer and go (I've never experienced how the city looks at night during this time of year which I hear is amazing) or do the alternative and shoot for a warmer place? Just wondering in general if people would choose a city like Paris to vacation in over Christmas? As an FYI, I'd be going all by myself.
