thanks for answering! Great thread.

Considering traveling and have two questions: 1) How does one go about maintaining internet access/traveling with a computer? Do you lug a laptop and how do you get your internet service? Same for cable TV. Do you travel with a TV set or do they charge you to rent one? 2) Does anyone maintain a home base and if so, how do you care for your home while away? I am interested in traveling but don't want to sell my house. I don't want to rent it either because I plan to use it between assignments. Where do you all go between assignments? That's more than two questions but whatever you can answer will help.

Thanks for your responses. How do you maintain a house while you are away? Do you hire someone to do lawn care, etc.

I'm considering traveling in the near future and wondered how it would work to have a home/house I maintain locally while taking travel assignments long distance. I'm having trouble thinking of traveling without a home base to return to between assignments. Does anyone maintain and pay for a home base while traveling? Outside of having to pay a mortgage for someplace I won't be 9 months out of the year...what are the other pros/cons. Do people really just live out of their cars and in hotels between assignments as travelers? Thanks
