80 surely that is warm to swim in!!! I think it should be great.

Only 2 days!

Are you almost all packed? I still have 8 days left and am already becoming a basket case because I just know I am going to forget something important.

I also have 8days...I have a check list on my desk and add things to my note as I think of them.

80degree ocean temps sound perfect.

Missy,

Have a great trip and as long as you pack the sunscreen and a bathing suit its all good.

Some of the things on my list are:

A beach bag (to carry stuff to and from)
Flashlight
Camera (don't forget memory cards)
Chargers (for cell phone, games, laptop etc)
Pool items (goggles, dive rings etc)
Binoculars
Journal (for that great trip report we want you to write)

 

[minnieluvzmickey]

ewwww thanks........i didnt even think about a flashlight

 

[Laurabearz]

Try not to fret so much, as my husband tells me when I start to get a bit frantic about packing, the resort is NOT on the moon.

(His was of saying we can just buy it)

And I agree up to a point.

Electronics, swimsuits, and makeup are all too expensive to replace (and in the case of the bathing suit who wants to ruin a perfectly good vacation trying on swimsuits lol)

Everything else, cake.

We just added on next Saturday night on cash. We were going to stop in Savannah, but decided we would just come on in to HH and then pick a mid week day to go into Savannah.

Several years ago we lived in a high rise on the 6th floor. Well one night something happened to the power and the whole building went out and to top it off the back up generators didn't come on.

So here we are on the sixth floor and it is so dark in the building that you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. Luckily at that time we had one of those kitchen flash lights so we were able to safely make it out of our condo and down six flights of stairs.

I always feel safer in a strange place if I have a flash light in case of an emergency.

I know I have probably mentioned it on here before, but I always take a battery operated lantern to use on the porch. We like to eat dinner outside in the evenings, and I like to sit outside and read. I don't think that there are lights on the porches and it is nice to have a light to put on the table.
Enjoy your trip! We will be there in 13 days!

Good idea!
Great city.
We'll be there Sunday the 31st.

Both the flashlight and the lantern are great ideas! I've enjoyed reading this thread. Thanks to all of the contributors. We'll be in a 2b/2b from July 31st - August 5th. This will be our first trip to Hilton Head.

I would like a marsh view. Any building suggestions would be appreciated.

 

[minnieluvzmickey]

oh yeah...........a lantern..........i'm going to put one in the car right now.......leaving in 5 hours i gotta go to bed

 

[Kami]

Hi! I don't know too much about HH, but I've heard so many great things about it. I was just wondering what airport people fly into when they go there?

You can fly right into Hilton Head and the resort is only 10 minutes away.
You can also fly into Savannah/HHI and you're about an hour away.

We're leaving on the evening of June 7th to arrive June 8th through June 14th. Thanks for the tip on the lantern. We were there once before and I forgot about how dark the porch was at night. Has Star Spangled BBQ started on Tues yet? My children still talk about the Ice cream Drop.

 

[minnieluvzmickey]

we are here.....arrived this afternoon around 1:00. Our room was not ready until 4:00. We are in building 26. We did not get the marsh view that we requested but we did get a pool view....we are in 2611 and we could almost jump in the pool from our room. So far noise is not an issue. I have 4 boys and I think we make more noise than anyone here. We went over to the beach for a few minutes.....swam in the resort pool most of the day. Had lunch at Giusseppis and went to the grocery store. My kids are having a great time riding bikes and their skateboards that I didn't want them to bring (ahem). They fished a little from the pier and we had smores at the campfire. Tomorrow we do the marsh tour and then we're headed to the beach. So far so good!

the star spangled barbeque is happening tuesday for the first time this year or so that is what the cm told us. He said they just pulled the barge out in the marsh yesterday for the fireworks. We have decided to cook our own burgers and then go to the pool party.

any questions???? just ask!

 

[JeffR]

Although we purchased our DVC at HH in 1999, we haven't been back back since 2001. Our kids don't really even remember the resort! We'll be there June 21 through the 27th. Can anyone point me to a HHI teen activity thread?

HHI 1999 (Kids are now 13 & 15!)

 

[Laurabearz]

Hi! I have some questions...

Is Kids Night Out on Monday?

And what is the run down of events for Star Spangled Tuesday...

Are there sign up sheets for the various events (ice cream drop, watermelon seed spitting etc) and if there are sign up sheets when do they go out?

How much to the crab nets cost?

And have you spotted Shadow yet?

Thanks so much!

I would like to know how it goes for you doing the BBQ on your own and then going to the party, That is what we are thinking of doing id grilling on our own and then going to the party.
