Just because you leave home and go on vacation doesn't mean you have to stop flying. I keep a few planes and batteries in my Dad's house in California. When I went to spend time with him last month, I flew almost every morning at the local park. When I visited my brother, I also flew. He keeps his garage filled with planes as you can see.
