Leaving PA on Sunday checking in Monday. Have to work today, what a long day. Hoping for nice warm weather and the ocean not to be cold.
This will be our 3rd stay at HHI. It's a wonderful place.

We are leaving HHI on Sunday to return to PA. We are sad to leave. It has been in the 80s all week. The paper said the ocean temp is averaging 75 degrees which is pretty close to how it feels. Have a wonderful time!

I am enjoying re reading this thread, we will be going to HHI on June 22, our plans are to start that Saturday and just drive to Roanoke,stay thhe night there and then head out early Sunday morning. We want to do day trips to Savannah and Charleston, but with 2 children ages 5 and 1 we may decide to just do one of those cities, we will see how it goes. I am getting together with my son and daaughter in law tonight to sit down and get our game plan finalized. I can not wait for this vacation.

I'd hit Savannah. Shorter drive, more interesting urban design, almost as much history.

Thank you for the advice. I was leaning towards Savannah myself.

Wow, quite expensive! Thanks for the info, worth going to Walmart:

The other thing is that they are far from the water (at normal tide). But, the perk is there is no lugging, set up etc. I rent for one day....they are super nice chairs and the umbrella is huge.

Only 8 more days! So excited for our 1st trip to HHI. FYI, we called the resort this morning to get the week's activity schedule faxed to us and they said to call back Thursday. Apparently they look at the weather forecast for the week and finalize it for then. Basically all the typical activities happen but they may change the days and times depending on the weather.

Can't wait for 5 beach days and 1 day in Savannah! Our boys age 4.5 & 8 are pretty exited too. I just hope they aren't disappointed by the lack of characters. We've tried to prepare them. And what they don't know is that we've secretly booked a trip to WDW the 1st week of December!!!

Where from PA are you driving? We will be headed down for our first trip in June from around Pittsburgh.

Where is home in PA? Looking for stops along the way for our trip next month.

We will be there t he same time as you with our DD 6 and DS 2. It will be our first trip. We plan to drive on Saturday and stop in Yemassee, SC. Then we hope to go to Sam's early on Sunday before hitting the beach. I am hoping our kids can make the drive on Saturday.

We are from outside Philadelphia. We drove to Richmond Friday night and then the rest of the way in on Saturday. We drove home without stopping overnight. If was long but we just wanted to get home.

Have a great time!

Yay! I remember you from my many years here, before my almost 2.5 year hiatus that I just returned from. LOL!

Having an awesome week here at HHI! Drive down went well stopped just at the start of SC exit 90 i think. There was a big amusement park next the hotel we stopped at. From PA stopping for breakfast it took just over 10 hours until first stop. Arrived at resort 2:30 Monday. Ocean & pool water warm!! DS & DH are swimming now while I'm typing on my phone. Did the kayak tour this morning, climbed lighthouse & ate at Salty Dog today. Tomorrow we are going zip lining and planning Roastfish & Cornbread for dinner. Don't want to go home.

You're now there! Wish I could go again this year, but don't want to start a habit of borrowing points...

You'll have a great time I'm sure. I suggest visiting Savannah on your way to HHI, better even if you have time for a day tour. Even in a few hours you can see a lot.

Carowinds.

If you cook meals, what do you make? Just trolling for some ideas while I'm making out a grocery list for our trip in 3 weeks.
