Thanks for the input! I'm not sure how long you've been away for, but it sounds like quite some time. If you did it for 3 months, I can see it being difficult, but it seems to me a year or two would be enough to get into a new rhythm in your new place. Just like moving anywhere else. We already go out of town fairly frequently; seems we're away from home at least 1 weekend a month if not 2 or more. During ski season it's quite common for us to go shopping friday night, procure a weekend's worth of groceries, and then live off of those for the weekend. I wouldn't plan to work on the weekends, it would just be living life, but in a different place, and with the ability to travel when we want to. The secondary option of working remotely for a week, then vacationing in that 'remote' place for a week, then going home, would involve no work during the second week, and no 'fun' during the first. Other than seeking out new places in the evenings. I've done enough of that when traveling on business already, to know I'm pretty happy with it.
