Given these kinds of things, I don’t see the practicality of depending on foreign properties. It’s not like you would have six weeks to get your passport in order and arrange for some nice neighbors to watch you place and go to the drugstore to stock up on suntan lotion or something...

Well, there is always the Sailboat Escape Pod Option.

Then, who cares about going through the TSA's "people corrals" at the airports?

It's not for everybody, but it does work. You can cross entire oceans in a single long slow jump. Leaving from and arriving at small small remote ports, sometimes without govt permission or knowledge.

We've thought about that, but it simply isn't practical for us. Given our current location a wind powered boat is only useful for about 5 months out of the year.

Outside of that time frame storage costs are outrageous. Those resources, at least for us right now, are better allocated elsewhere.

Besides, what I know about sailing you could put in a thimble and still have room for a double martini.
