Oh and when you are planning your trip to NH, just remember I live in Massachusetts so I am just a hop, skip and a jump from there.
Hi hi!! I'm here & can't wait to hear all about it. Your trips sound GREAT!!! so fun!!
Thanks for the heads up about your new TR. I'm so far behind on the DIS. I still need to finish your last TR.
I'm curious what your opinion of HHI is. We have done a few trips to Myrtle Beach and I have vowed NEVER to go back. DH is a big golfer. It would be nice to find a place where he can golf. He hasn't golfed Disney yet. I keep telling him to let me book a round for him, but I think he feels guilty about it. Silly Boy. Next time I'm going to surprise him with it.
Yep, that's the trip I had to settle for what they had. I did call at four months, so knew there might be little available, but I didn't think there would only be one option for two consecutive nights. But, after extensive research I know we're going to love SSR. I am now glad I got 'stuck' with it. I had to bite the bullet and rent ten points, oh I didn't like to do that, but I only had enough points for two nights and after realizing how much Christmas stuff there is to see I knew we needed more time, so when I called back and they had the room available another night I just grabbed it.
I've got the 11 month down pat, now I must perfect my 7 month strategy

I would totally love to do that!!!! There are so many places in New England I want to see, not just the White Mountains. And I haven't been to Boston since I did a bike ride across Massachuesetts....and that was a LONG time ago. Such a pretty ride! I also want to visit the coast of Maine, so you would be a perfect stop!
It is really hard to get anything during the first two weeks of December so I'm glad you got two nights consecutively.
I love the idea of filling in for Nick's guitar lessons. plus you get to hold that over him later (oh, its not that hard, I've done it....). MUAAHAHAHAHA... Nick wants to start back up AFTER soccer, so I offered to take his lesson for two months. It's not as terrible as it sounds though. I do play the guitar, just not at a level past basic open chords. So I am learning to play bar chords and I hoping to learn a little bit of classical picking. I really want to learn Jesus Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach), but I think its WAY outside of my technical zone. We'll see tonight.
So - if I don't get to my first W-burg update, please don't hate me. I'll get it started tomorrow.

It sounded like such a hassle to take Brian and then find out he couldn't stay. I'm glad it ended up working out well for him.
Looking forward to hearing more and seeing the pictures!
Hi MEK! I followed you over from Jenjolt, Jackie and LL's previous trips! Love your 3 in one trip report! We've been down to Disney every December since 2005 and this year we'll be there 12-12 to 12-18!
I will be your tourguide for the coast of Maine. Seriously beautiful, I miss Maine so much. I know I'm not far but I never end up doing everything I want too during the summers. Oh and when you come up, we MUST eat lobster rolls. I insist.
Is that because of the low points needed? Then I am super glad I was able to add a third night even though I had to rent some points to do it. I won't make that a habit, but it's a nice thing to be able to do when you have some points left but not enough for a whole night. Yep, it's also on my wish list to try all the resorts I can. Anyway, sorry to be talking so much about DVC, didn't mean to take over. Can't wait to hear more about your vacation!
I definitely felt like yesterday should have been Friday too! I'm sitting here like...but why isn't it Saturday? It really should be...
Wow, that definitely sounds like you had quite a few things going on during that hurricane weekend! I'm glad that Brian got moved in and settled eventually, how is he enjoying it there now? It looks like a nice campus (at least, from that parking lot )
I'm so happy that you guys did make it to Williamsburg!!! That must have been driving you nuts to not know until the very last minute! I can't wait to see more pics!
The campus at Salisbury looks lovely! I just can't imagine at this point leaving my son at college, but I know I need to start preparing for it because I'm sure these next few years are going to fly by. We are actually within commuting distance to Oklahoma University, maybe he'll just go there and stay at home - fingers crossed!
Glad you finally made it to Williamsburg! Your condo looks lovely!
I grew up in Maine. In Kittery actually which is right across from Portsmouth, NH. Marc & I actually were married in Portsmouth. Acadia is gorgeous, simply stunning, especially at this time of year with the leaves changing colors. I miss living in Maine, someday I am going to move back.I don't know how I missed this post! DOH! That sounds so wonderful!!!! I would love a tour guide. Oh yeah - I remember looking at Portsmouth NH as a possible destination. I tell you, I really was all over the map!
Didn't you used to live in Maine? I think the coastline of Maine is spectacular and I have really only seen the southern tip. Some day I am going up to Acadia and I would love to keep going right to Nova Scotia.
I love lobster rolls! YUM!!!!
