Would you Lock and Leave?

OK, so what in the world is “lock and leave”?  Is it a lifestyle or a community, a type of home or facility? Of course as you probably suspect, the answer is “Yes”. The concept has been around for ages, but the term “lock and leave” is not so old. It’s basically the idea of having the flexibility to take off and leave home, which requires not only a certain personal means but a home that you can leave and be secure in the knowledge that it will be cared for and safe in your absence. Whether you are from the North or South you know what “Snow Birds” are, so you get the picture. So, what are the lifestyle components and do YOU fit? Spontaneous, adventurous? Methodical / careful advance planning?   Could go somewhere short term / long term?  Some of each? Interest in different destinations: road trips to see the country or just “jump” to a place of interest?  Vacation home of your own? Cultural or religious pilgrimage?  Children moved out, pets passed away (too morbid?)
