Some good things to think about - thanks all for the comments. And good point about the legality of 'working remotely' while there. It's mostly an R&R trip. I'm a partner in a biz that I need to at least stay in touch with while I'm away. Not doing hard core, income deriving work. Don't know if that makes a difference although I guess I should look into it. Or heck ---- great reason to tell my partners to leave me the heck alone - I'm at the beach or under water diving! wink
