		<content type="html"><![CDATA[Enjoyed your article. I have a website with an active adult directory. Whenever time and travel budget allows, I like to visit some of the communities firsthand. You're right, they are all very different. And I agree that chatting with residents is a great way to find important information about a community. My website, <A href="http://www.plannedseniorhood.com/">www.plannedseniorhood.com</A>, may be of interest to you or your readers interested in active adult communities.]]></content>

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[This article represents a good picture of sandwich generation and boomer issues and illustrates a family that has the means (although it's not without its challenges), but even more importantly, they are planning. Preparation is paramount. We have to take a deep breath and open up a dialogue with our elders about their plans, hopes, and plan B's because as we know, life doesn't always go as we first planned. We boomers have to know that this day is coming and not be in denial, and not "overspend" our time or money to where we have nothing left when a situation arises. <BR>I'm fortunate enough that even though it took some sacrifice, I was still able to bring my mother (suffering with Parkinson's and Alzheimer's) into my home. We spent the last few years of her life together--and I'm grateful for this opportunity--it had a profound effect on me, my children, my marriage--and how I see life. <BR>~Carol D.

		<content type="html"><![CDATA[I was pleased to find your blog as I am amongst the 'older' baby boomers. There's a lot of us and it's great to see your encouragement to stay active and try new things.<BR> <BR>And, as I have been running a home exchange service from London since my kids were young (i.e. nearly 23 years), I was pleased to see your suggestion for boomers to consider home exchange. Many of our members fall into this category, some retired, some still working or combining part time work/self employment with other activities. The boomer generation, without school age children or regular 9 - 5 jobs, can often be more open with exchanges dates and lengths of exchange and this flexibility opens up many exchange opportunities. <BR> <BR>If you are interested in finding out more about home exchange, I hope you will visit my blog, Travel the Home Exchange Way:<BR> <BR> <A href="http://homeexchangetravel.blogs.com/">http://homeexchangetravel.blogs.com</A> <BR> <BR>I would be happy to answer any questions your readers may have about swapping homes.<BR> <BR>Cheers from rainy London,<BR>Lois]]></content>
