I'll give you a little advice and its free!

I didn't know how much better my QWL could be once I STOPPED commuting! I can't live anywhere it snows, I hate being COLD. So I commuted from MCO for a good 15 years--it wasn't bad or so I thought until I moved into a southern base with warm weather.

I would have a sit down with my Wife and explain the pros/cons of both. Just understand it will cause stress "commuting" no matter how easy it is! Hotels and Crashpads suck ***!
