>Personally I have always envisioned living somewhere remote, like this, on a small island, up the mountains or in a lighthouse -

(Even at the risk of sounding childish, I say) Me too!!

And you know what? At 48, I think that day is fast approaching for me. :-)

In the past decade or so, I've pulled a few (short, days/weeks) stints at it and just loved it. Some of the remote locations from where I've conducted various business activities online:

* Various Himalayan retreats (in India and Nepal)

* Cruise ship sailing between Singapore and Malaysia

* A port town of Nigeria

* Beach resorts in Goa and Mauritius

* Cruise ship on Nile (Egypt)

Although I enjoyed working from all of those places thoroughly, my personal destination of choice is the Himalayas; waiting for the day.
