This answers the question of whether Gandalf had a permanent home like Saruman--he didn't. But it is less clear about his destinations for "vacation sojourns", as was mentioned above--that is, places where he could rest. It says that he mostly wandered, but it seems he hung out for extended periods in the Shire, in Rivendell, and perhaps even in Bree when he wasn't wandering the WestLands on foot (as he mostly did)...
