Most of our previous trips were 10 days and we would split 5 days on the beach and 5 days in the cliffs, at Seastar of course. Then we stretched to 12 days all to cliffs and then the last trip was 14 days. One week just does not seem to justify the expense for us, especially when 2 days are travel days. Leaves you with only 5 days to chill. Depending on the amount of stress you have carried down with you, it may take at least a few days to unwind. We have another 2 weeks this January and then we are graduating to 3 weeks for 2013. Thank goodness for the summers back home to get us through the stretch to get back. As was suggested - stretch your next trip to 10 days including weekends then you'll see, you may be stretching longer the next time.
