House swapping or not

What a frustrating week. Here I am minding my own business, not planning on going anywhere and suddenly I get a invitation to exchange houses in Marine county.In April. The house looks nice, we can bring Shadow and why not? So I say yes and then the other lady gets nervous that "where exactly do you live?". She has never heard of Port Hueneme and is afraid it is not close to the beach. Also she now wants a public swimming pool, places to hike and a gym. In the meantime someone with a beautiful house in San Francisco contacts us and also wants to trade in April. By now I have had it with Marine county, so I say yes. Never hear from them again. Mind you they contacted me. Finally because I was liking the idea of a easy and cheap getaway, so I contacted some people outside of Yosemite, and they said yes. So If all goes right in May we will go there for five days. It's never easy.
