FINDING STUFF IN THE SWAP HOME

The difference between an exchange home and a hotel room is space and amenities. Exchange homes having more of both. While it's incredibly convenient when on vacation to have a full kitchen, washer/dryer and so on, the location of items you may need may not be obvious in a strange home.

When I recently revised my home exchange instructions I decided to prepare a sheet called "Where to Find It". I didn't include items that were out and visible. For instance, our umbrella stand is in the foyer and one of the first things someone sees when s/he walks in.

Is this a helpful info sheet to leave for my swap partners? What am I forgetting? When you enter a new swap home, what items do you find yourself needing and not finding? Use the comments link below to let me know.
