Lighting When Traveling Overseas

I'm from Triest, Italy. My wants travel and return from the USA to Europe in the 8th evening of Chanuka; we have to leave New York at 3:00pm - which is before the time to light. We plan to arrive at home only in the morning of the next day. At home there is nobody to make our agent for lighting. What is the correct way for fulfillment of the mitzva?

I asked your question to Rabbi Shlomo Fisher, shlita. He ruled that in your case there is no obligation to light Chanuka lights.

This can be explained as follows: The Talmud describes the mitzva to light Chanuka lights as "a candle for a person and his home" (Shabbat 21b). The obligation to light Chanuka candles applies only if you are based in a home at the appropriate time for fulfilling the mitzva.

But if you're riding with your family in a car or plane the entire night - and there's nobody residing in your home - you're exempt from lighting Chanuka candles.
