Moreover, even if we did visit them, or them us, there's the problem of living in someone's house - no holiday for the host. Timeshare seemed to be the answer. We trialed it in January this year when good friends living in Budapest met up with us in New Zealand. And it worked a dream - a magic vacation filled with fun and memories. It takes work and planning.
Someone has to be responsible for organising everything.
Don't split the job - it only leads to mistakes. The first thing is to get everyone to agree on a destination. Having done that, get the timeshare swaps in as soon as possible. Here's where there needs to be some tact and understanding. For example, one of the activities I wanted to do in New Zealand was a heli-hike on Fox Glacier.
