HHI Adoration & Information 2009

[podsnel]

I don't remember that there was too much walking. Carol asked me if I wanted to go up top of the lighthouse, which I did, but she didn't go, and I could just as easily have said "No".

That's great!! My MIL can get around, but I don't want to make her "over do it". I hope she'll want to the tour with me....

And WE are staying at the Hampton Inn next Fri & Sat nights- before we check in on Sunday early!! Actually, one of Dh's brothers & family is going down a week early, so we're just going to hang out with them before descending on Disney. We leave one week from tomorrow...WOOHOO!!!!

Does anyone know of the activities at the resort for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day? I have DS 5. Another neat area to visit when you stay here is the Beaufort area including St. Helena Island and Hunting Island. I used to live in Beaufort and it is very nice.

We leave on Saturday!!! We're all very excited.

I do have one question, though. We plan on using the barbeque grills a couple of nights. Has anyone ever found that it is so busy that you can't find one available?

We go to HHI the 3rd week of August for the past 3 years and have never had a problem finding a bbq grill. They definitly are busier on Tuesday, but never had more than a little wait. Have fun!!

We've never had a problem either. Enjoy your visit!

We are here now, and the grills are generally available. If someone is using them, you may have to wait a half hour or so.

Sandieb- We are heading down in another week or so. How is the weather? Is it like Orlando where it is hot and humid with rain showers in the afternoon?

 

[Mattsmommy]

we have been here since saturday and it's nice and hot. It rained for a few hours yesterday.

 

[Conan the Librarian]

Here in the Low Country, the weatherpeople just put up 20% of rain every day.

Sometimes we get a little more, but, never less. It just rained here about 1 hour ago.

Temps in the high 80s today, so, it's a bit cooler than normal.

We are headed down this weekend and can't wait! Checking in on Saturday morning - bringing my mom and dad for their first visit to HHI - SOOOO excited! Has it been "buggy" at all? Trying to decide what else I need to pack - and I know last time we were there we were the main course for a lot of mosquitos and other pesky things!

The Weather Channel just reported a tornado touchdown near Bluffton. I would be interested in hearing reports from our locals and those at the resort now - any bad storms on the island?

Stay safe everyone!

We (about 14 of us ) will be arriving Aug.21 and leaving the 26th,
this is the first time,we will be there for more than 2 days.
I have so many questions.I will post as I remember them
Does Hudson's take reservations?
Does the Tues. night party run past the 18th?
And somewhere I read about buying fresh seafood to grill, does anybody know?

Thanks in advance,
joy

Has anyone ever gone on the Vagabound Ferry to Savannah?
Thoughts? Worth it? Better than driving yourself?

Thanks, Deb

My BIL/SIL are down there this week (at another resort) and said the weather was rainy- very rainy- yesterday afternoon, but cleared up by 7 pm or so. No mention of tornados!

We are leaving tonight- sooooooo HAPPY!!!!

 

[Maryrn11168]

Just used the on-line check in to check us in!! We will be arriving on the 9th!!! This will be our 3rd trip, but it has been 5 years since we were there last!! I am so excited!!!

Not looking forward to the 16 hour drive But it will be worth it when we get there!!!

July 29th 5pm brought a big thunder storm.
There was a tornado sighting in Bluffton, SC which is close to Hilton Head.

Other than that we have seen a good bit of these water spouts recently.

 

[Conan the Librarian]

Whoa! Cool!

I've never seen one.

 

[chum]

Whoa! Cool!

I've never seen one.

I remember a spout reported on the Savannah River last year.

My family is going to HHI in August and I'm interested in doing the dolphin discovery tour. Our kids are 8 & 10 (almost 9 & 11) and I would like to know just how much interaction there is with the dolphins.
To me the pictures look like the boat is fairly small and you can get good pictures. Has anyone ever been on this tour??? Is it worth the price????

I got to swim with dolphins in Mexico and it was an experience of a lifetime. I don't know if ths tour would be worth the price if the kids just saw them.

Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

We checked in this afternoon for our first visit. I am so pleased with the resort, the employees, and the island. It is just lovely here. Everything is clean and manicured. We are in building 13 and we love this marsh view.
