Your "original point of departure" remains Paine - the way you log it makes
no difference.


Your "original point of departure" is whatever you want it to be. There are no
rules as to which legs must correspond to which flight, nor even as to how long
one can remain at an intermediate point and still have both legs be the same
"flight". The FAQ even lists cases of remaining overnight on one flight, and
using separate legs to reposition the flight "for the purpose of starting a
cross country from X to Y".
