Option #1
One location, 3 day PH

After US – head back to hotel rest, Dinner

Friday

Option #2

Option 2. Moving isn't that bad. Plan ahead and put the things you'll need for the first stay in a separate suitcase.

I would do option #2. It is better to stay closer to USH and then move to DL for the rest of the stay. Traffic can be really bad between DLR and USH.
