On weekends we have the option of flying home or flying elsewhere. I don't have a nice play in the bay area so I prefer to go elsewhere. When we fly elsewhere, we can only expense the flight (if its equal or lesser ... if its more, we have to absorb the difference)

I go to LA, Houston, Cleveland, NYC, Hartford and this weekend London! =)

So when I head to other locations, I typically sleep on my buddy's couches. I'm usually not home about a month at a time and come back for a weekend to get new clothes then do another month away. This is why I live so humbly in SF. $500 rent - so you can imagine that its not very nice =P
