Belkin Single Outlet Wall - Mount Surge Protector-F9H101aCW-DP at The Home Depot
Bought at the Lady Lake Home Depot.

I suppose if we went back and forth more frequently it wouldn't bother me to leave it on. But we're 8 months here and 4 up there. Both those amounts of time are too long for my comfort zone.
