I agree with Minn, I have owned a couple of vacation homes.
Newer really used them enought to justify the cost, sold them and cruise now. I can cruise at least twice a year and haven’t come near to using up the money from the sale.

The wife and I have this conversation all the time. She wants a second house, I say why? Whenever you're in house one house two will be on your mind and vice versa.

So, she changed it to let's keep the house on LI and but a snow-bird house down south for when we retire. I say when that day comes let's sell all the property on LI (we are landlords), buy the house we want where we want and come back to visit a few weeks a year. We could easily rent a condo here for a month at a time...or go to London instead, or Buenos Aires or Spain or Asia...

Nothing ties you down like a vacation home.
