Okay, there are certain places you have to go for certain things to
eat on the Outer Banks. HURRICANE MO'S for the best steamed oysters
ever (beer and wine only)! CAPT'N FRANKS for the best hot dogs! CLARA'S
for the absolute best ever she-crab soup! DAIRY MART for the best
hamburger you will ever put in your mouth (outside dining only!)
ELIZABETH'S CAFE all around yummy! For great tuna taco's, it's gotta be
GOOMBAY'S. JOHN'S DRIVE IN for tuna boats with fried okra and don't
forget the peanut butter milkshakes (outside dining only!) THE OASIS:
you have to go get the BELLRINGERS! Raw oyster on a saltine cracker
with horseradish, hot sauce and a jalapeno; a buck a piece. Your nasal
passages will be clear for weeks. My record is six. If Mark makes them;
I can only do three. THAI ROOM for the sauteed soft shells. We lived on
the Outer Banks for nearly 10 years but go back at least twice a year.
Just got back from our 11 days during Easter 99. Had a wonde! rful time

We have a lovely NYC apartment on Manhattan's upper west side, right
on Broadway. We love our neighborhood with its restaurants, shopping,
theatre, groceries, and all amenities, and its proximity to Riverside
and Central Parks. The express train stops at our corner and takes us
to Times Square in ten minutes. We have a part-time doorman and an
old-style, well maintained, one bedroom apartment (800 square feet with
full bath and kitchen with dishwasher and full-size appliances)which
sleeps three comfortably. We'd love to swap for a beach house for
spring/summer/fall 1999, and perhaps for New Year's 2000.

Grand Junction, CO. We love all the mountian stuff but would like to
vacation at the beach. We live 35 min from 11,000 foot alpine settings
and 20 min from desert canyons. Mtn biking and hiking here is as good
as anywhere in the world. We would like to exchange houses and cars
with a family from the outer banks for a week or two in the summer of
1999.

We have a vacation home on 150 acres in the mountains of north
central Pa. We would like to arrange an exchange for a ocean front
house on the Outer Banks for 1 or 2 weeks. Our house is located on the
top of a mountain with an unbelievable view of Pine Creek which runs
thru the Pa. Grand Canyon....privacy is assured. Hiking, fishing,
hunting, birdwatching and rafting are all right here. Plenty of
pictures to exchange.

We have a 4 bedroom house in Southern Shores. We rent it through
Southern Shores Realty during the season, but wish to exchange at other
times. The house is located 700 feet from the ocean; it's spacious,
peaceful, comfortable and filled with amenities. Sleeps 8-9 but is
great for a couple off season because the large master bedroom and
living spaces are on one floor. For photo and description, see website
for the realty co. (southernshores.com) (Name:Manna; #289). We would
consider any exchange locations, esp. Western US, New England, Europe,
Mexico, Caribbean.

We are inquiring about the "beaches" of the Outer Banks. We will be
vacationing somewhere on the Outer Banks this summer and one of our
primary concerns is the "beach". We are looking for a wide beach where
we can spread out and not be bothered by other beach-goers (and
vice-versa as we have three active youngsters!). We also want a beach
with a gradual slope into the ocean (our children are under 10) and
weak undercurrent. We would appreciate your comments and/or
recommendations. Thanks! Mark Lynam Mount Joy, PA

accomodate up to 4 and the house up to about 8 people. Car exchange may
be available. We are open to times and length of stay though not more
than a week. Dogs & children are welcome. We have a small well-behaved
dog. Please contact us at kjenkins@mail.darbylaw.com

Editor's Note: You're now in with the others all it takes is a
submission to these travelogues. Hope you find an exchange.
I have a large (2500 sq.ft) two-story home in Anchorage, Alaska. It
has four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and a double garage . It is situated in a
quiet, upscale neighborhood with easy access to much of the wilderness
that Alaska has to offer. Along with these accomodations would be
twenty-plus years of hiking and fishing information that can literally
save you hundreds of dollars a day off the rates with which typical
tourists get "taken". If you have a four or five-bedroom, beachfront or
near ocenside home and are intrigued by the opportunity to exchange it
for a home in the Last Frontier, let me hear from you.
