Hi, I have a question, I wrote an e-mail to a Host some days ago, and didn't get any reaction yet. Is it usually that it can take some while to get an answer, I should I interprete this as 'no place' and start sending mails to other Hosts? I don't want to be impatient, but just to know, because the time between now and when I want to go gets shorter, and to know if I should look for another Host... Natalie

Hi, I'd just like to say that it can be very difficult to get e mail regularly and reply regularly. Some of us live in very isolated locations with very irregular and very slow internet connections and that a 'no reply quickly' doesn't mean a 'no'! Be patient and keep in mind that technology in the countryside can be very difficult.
Kind regards

In the rural area of Ireland it can take a day or two to pick up an e mail sometimes it is difficult to get a connection if the weather is bad. or perhaps the host have taken a well earned break away. Do not expect immediate response, most of us are very busy people who have planned in advance. I am for instance booked until January, and am organising the spring now. We are not hostels with vacant beds, please give us time, and respect our commitments. You should also search more than one host to see if you are compatible and will be comfortable with each other.
