Thanks all...I have pretty much decided on doing a split stay. Jan 4-11...

I believe arrival---->5 nights @ SeaStar, then the last 6 nites at a beach spot (probably Mariners/NBCC).

I may just leave the last six nites---->departure open, and and do the "land and look"...I'd have five days to find my next "spot..." to stay, kinda cool.

Anyone have any ideas? Is this advisable?
