If you have kids (who will likely be in school etc), you cant just uproot them and run off to another city for a month, or two or three.

Thanks, Jules. Nice to meet you.
I started homeschooling my son so we could avoid what you mentioned. I was uprooted MANY times from school as a kid, and it was hard for me to keep up academically since curriculum varies so much from one district to another.
We are using a web-based curriculum that is set according to Colorado standards - the highest in the nation - that way he will be ahead no matter where we go. If anyone is interested, it is www.k12.com It has been a ton of fun, and a real life-saver logistically. Johnny studies, I do my studying for my schooling, and Brett does his school work all together. He is growing up assuming that everyone goes to school, and homework is just part of everyday life.
