[quote=Anonymous]Most of our APs had no visitors from home; most years, it never came up because of the expense and distance.  Also our home is not huge: 4 bedrooms, all taken once the AP joined us.  (Definitely no boyfriends because we would never choose an AP with a boyfriend at home.  Way too much risk of homesickness in that group, and those who lied about it all went home early once it became evident. i.e. they spent all their time on Skype and moping around the house.)  But we have hosted a couple of sisters and a mom for a couple of weeks at a time, only one person at a time because they have to share the AP's room.  Food was never really an issue; it was a combination of eating out, AP/guest buying things they liked to eat and us supplying some foods. I have never felt taken advantage of.   One set of parents came and did their own thing in a hotel, touring the region for a couple of weeks, just visiting us for an afternoon.  What has been more of an issue was the language issue as the guests don't always speak English as well as the AP.  Having AP's identical twin sister who spoke virtually no English was interesting.
