Our plans are probably a little different then most. My home is NH, but I left there 40 years ago and have only been back to visit once in a while. The love of my life was a military brat so no place is really home.
So our plans are to move to TV as a full time home and then take summer vacations places we want to visit. Rent a home on a lake in NH, or lake Tahoe, or on a lake in Canada, or a sailboat someplace or take a summer trip to Europe or whatever. But TV will be the year round home. We believe, but not 100% sure yet, that renting or traveling for a month or two will be the same cost wise as trying to own a second home some place else. And we get the variety of seeing and staying in many places. And by not owning, just renting, we eliminate the need to do maintenance when there, taxes, ownership worries, and winterizing when we leave. Of course if we find some place we both fall in love with, then a second place could be an option. But for now that is not in the plans.
