Thank you all. This is helpful. I think I can actually sit down, using the feedback, after the holidays and list pros/cons....even, perhaps make up my mind. I know deep down I lean to just going either before or after this summer...hey, I don't really have much to lose...
and, the longer I put off a decision, the shorter my time, and resources grow....
Any and all suggestions/thoughts/experiences welcome. What a great community this is.
