How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

It’s A Parking Horror Show

in Travel on 08/17/12

NewYorkParkingLot

I am an awesome driver.  Brag much?  Hang on, confession coming!  However, I am NOT a fabulous “parker”.  So when I saw this parking “lot” in New York City I might have had heart palpitations and broken out in a cold sweat.  Are you freaking kidding me?  So your punishment for surviving a drive through the crazy streets of New York City and finding a much coveted parking spot is a horror lot like this??  You have to leave your baby with an attendant and trust that he won’t drop your car three floors down to it’s death as he manipulates the entire structure with his REMOTE?  Gasp.

No thanks.  I will stick to cabs.

      I think you’re brave enough for even driving in NYC. I wouldn’t even dream of it.

      Well at least you don’t try to park it in that thing right?

Hubby and I will never forget the ferry ride in Lake Como that took us to this HomeExchange in postcard perfect Italy.

    Squee! It’s that time again — planning another #HomeExchange getaway!
Leaving the house behind and headed to Ontario cottage country. 🌲☀️
The hubby and I are planning a 7 night lakeside escape just a few hours from home, and honestly, this is where the girl math really starts mathing. After an expensive year, I’m extra grateful for our HomeExchange membership — and I love browsing all the gorgeous lakefront homes nearby!

Do you have a favourite town or lake in cottage country? Tell me!!

One annual membership fee + listing our home = unlimited swaps all year long. Affordable luxury travel for the win.
