I'm loving this thread (especially the great pictures)!!! We'll be at HHI May 25 through May 30 with our three kids (12,8,7).

Thanks Jean! What type of sea life were they able to see on the kayak tour?

Dolphin, crabs, oysters oh my!

I have started a Pre-Trip report over in that forum. It is only in the very beginning stages though.

Good start!
Are we going to see some pre-trip photos like the drive over?
I have family in McKinney so I'm interested in the ups and downs of that drive. They have yet to visit here via car but with a 2 and 3yr old now I think they are leaning that way.

Bad news - the bugs have arrived.
As of yesterday the mosquitoes are out.
The good news is that there has been a nice breeze to keep them at bay.
Just a warning to bring some repellent.
The beach is not a problem but the villas can be.

I will need a reminder of that for our August trip. The bugs might be out in full force then

Does anyone know if they have no-see ums like at Vero Beach?

Does anyone know if they have no-see ums like at Vero Beach?

Ha! Well, my fellow Marylander poster (Anal Annie) informed me that indeed Maryland has no-seeums, so I would venture to say yes! (Although I don't ever recall getting bit here in Maryland like I got bit in VB last August!) Take along Avon's Skin-So-Soft oil, lotion, just anything with Skin-So-Soft in it. It works great against no-seeums.

Yup, the no-see-ums are here.
They made themselves known earlier this month (Apr).

Any breeze is their enemy. Skin So Soft is a good tip or fabric sheet softeners.
They stay away during the hottest parts of the day but watch out when the sun rises or sets.

The midges were driving me nuts while I was working in the yard yesterday afternoon.

Yes, we will be taking pictures. My little sister, lives in McKinney. We are farther west than McKinney, but we are not as far north.

Thanks.
I hope your drive is a smooth one. Of course I could use your trip report to convince my family to make the journey.

One of the reasons I love Hilton Head Island!

I snapped this one morning from the Palmetto Dunes beach.

Oh man, am I glad I clicked on this thread before I went to bed. That pic is awesome. Can't wait to see HHI again!!!

 

[Laurabearz]

I really really can't wait for our trip. sigh

 

[chum]

Well, azalea season has come and gone.

April on Hilton Head can be rainy but it does usher in the azaleas.

Sad to see them go.

Summer is on it's way!

Here is a HHI photo we took on the Disney walkway to the beach.

I like that pic!

Looks like a nice relaxing afternoon with a slight breeze in the air.
