I am aware of how PBS works. We've both used it elsewhere. Garbage in, garbage out.
Because they only build 4-day trips, and PBS works to eliminate conflicts in the line it builds, there won't be the broken-up, formerly 4-day trips from which to trade into.
And there is no "if" when it comes to the math of spending time in hotel rooms, vs. spending time at home.
