Is you get to leave and come home.
Don't decry this - it's also a comfort for the people who live where you're going. They'll welcome your departure.
And there you have it; the truth about the tourist travel lifestyle. You may be able to afford it, and you might drop cash wherever you go, but the fact is you're still there and not here, and that is a strain on everyone.
If you have arranged a home from home, it has been at the expense of paying for two homes. If you haven't, you are going to be uncomfortable until you return.
If you are somewhere else, you will need to be housed, fed, washed, and robbed. These are tasks that your hosts may relish, but equally might dread. When you are putting your feet up and doing nothing, they are not.
The answer to it all is to stay home and hire in servants to treat you as well, or as badly, as they would in their home countries. With a bit of luck it will be they who develop gastroenteritis...
