    Most Spanish destinations for DL are very reasonable. Malaga might be good for your familia. I've been once, but I think our season will be over early Oct.
    Re Korea--there is a large network somewhere online for homestays. Don't recall the name, tho. I think it sounds fascinating.
    Gautemala and the lake would be most interesting with the "mystic" atmosphere and volcanoes. Towns/villages accessible by local boat service or by car. Or you can take chicken buses from GUA to Antigua (coffee plantations and colonial museums, etc) then Panajachel @ Atitlan.
    DC sounds like great idea--look at homeaway.com, too. or airbnb.com and the Metro is so easy.
    Keep searching and keep us posted!

    Guatemala definitely sounds like an adventure - even with the chickens! Might not thrill my hubby, but my kids would love it!

    I've looked at HomeStayWeb in the past (HomestayWeb - Find a homestay family - Home), and had wonderful communication with a family in Ecuador and a family in China, but haven't actually stayed with any of the families yet. Most people are looking for a single or a couple, but I've found plenty (especially in Asia at the time I first looked) that are willing to accept more people - especially once you email them. Yep, the work of following up on ideas has begun. Flight availability is still key, especially with our cabin preferences (if we go international).

    As much as I'm hoping for a huge easy international adventure, DC does sound easy...with easy transportation and plenty of affordable accommodations. Ahhh, the dilemmas of non-rev travelers...so many destinations, so little time.
