Thanks for the added details. I'm glad to hear there was wifi at all. When on vacation, I like to get my e-mails and clear out the backlog daily, lest I end the trip with hundreds to dig through. It's also nice when family can text or e-mail to let me know if something important happens, or I can let my wife know I'm still okay.Wifi was very poor.
I, too, am curious as to the price difference between the 2 portions of your stay. I imagine if prices were the same nearly everyone would choose the liveaboard route. From the U.S., either way the round trip international and domestic airfare and likely hotel stays run the bill up independently of what you pay the accommodation and dive services provider.
It'd be good to know how much money one saves going the homestay route.
