Husurdady - 7:00PM it is!! Oohhhh, I can't wait for some of those broiled rock shrimp. If you haven't had any of those, they have a flavor that is a cross between shrimp and lobster. Dipped in melted butter they are heaven.
DH likes the oysters also.

Wow, that is going to be a long day of travel. If it were me, I'd go with staying at the Hyatt. If you went to BVS, it would be after midnight till you would get there. Jim's suggestion sounds the easiest. Good luck with whatever you choose.
Like I posted, DH and I enjoy travelling via the AutoTrain. You and your car board in Lorton VA, the train leaves about 4:00pm. We normally get a room/roomette. Once boarded, they have complimentary wine, cheese & crackers and veggies & dip in the club car, then we have a nice supper with wine at about 7, watch the movie in the club car, head back to our room which is already made up for the night, go to sleep, wake up in Florida, have breakfast then get off the train at about 8:30/9:00am if things are on schedule. If they aren't, it's no problem as we are in no hurry. There are no stops along the way, it is a straight shot. No one gets on or off other than in Lorton, VA and Sanford, FL. Granted, flying is much quicker, but we like the relaxation of train travel. It gives you a chance to unwind from everyday work and stress to get ready for our vacation.

Welcome back JIM & P I. And how was your trip? Tell us about it.We love any & all info from home. 
BOY ! that train ride sounds like fun , and interesting too. I just wonder if Chicago has one like that to the south, I know they have the WILLIE NELSON [song] special to NEW ORLEANS.Don't know if it carries peoples cars a long with or not. Anyway we will [I think] , be driving down this year.......and guess what we ordered WED. afternoon............times up. A new 2011 honda mini van. It will, and get this,be made down in LINCOLN AL. some time between 11/07/10 and 11/11/10 I told Kathy may be we should go out to the gambling boats [theirs 5] on lake MICHIGAN and play some with those numbers. And we[other then bingo] don't even gamble. And of coarse, the airplane tickets went up another 40 dollars last week, that alone [x 3] will pay for our CIS night stay at the port,then after the cruise back to home O K W for 9 nights. JIM's pictures has us in the mood NOW! 
With you and P I in bed or not............... for give me P I........I don't know what's come over me since I started this new Med.
