    If lodging expense was out of the equation, where would you go?

    Keep in mind that you'd be obligated to be at your computer and working for approximately 8-10 hours a day. The biggest consideration, of course, would be time zone. You would want to be logged on and working during the same time as your colleagues in your home office, so working from somewhere halfway around the world could make this a challenge.

    I'm thinking Hawaii. Work from 3am til about 11am. Surf for a few hours. Sleep. Repeat.

    Meh, I'd just go in to the office and see if they'd just compensate me via a bonus instead. If not I'd just choose to work at the corporate office in LA, all the HR Assistants there are gorgeous.

    So you're asking me if there's any place in the world I'd want to go to and ..... work .... where would it be?

    *sigh*

    I would never want to do that; I've never trusted my co-workers or managers enough to be away from them for any extended period of time.

    I would love to be able to find a job that I could work remotely with in order to avoid the brutal winters of the Northeast, and spend them in the Caribbean, instead.

    An rv in a different state or national park each week. I'd move every weekend to a new location and travel to every state then keep hitting my favorites.
