We've done this pretty successfully, actually, for going on two years - and you're right about the continual travel planning being depleting...but new places are also really energizing...the key is making sure the length of the stay coincides with your release cycles. So, stay somewhere a month or more for a really big push, two weeks for maintenance and bug fix releases. This gives another fun advantage: release code names very easy to choose/remember. :)

Also - make sure you've got a nice view. We've found that our productivity increases substantially when we've got something nice to look at. Building product in basements is depressing and can really drain your energy/creativity/purpose. There's something about the ocean or the desert that can really drive you forward.
