Wow! Thanks Webmaster Doc! We will be in HHI between Christmas and New Year's (although not at DVC - we are fortunate to have "inherited" my parents' home on the island). When go in the warmer months finding activities are a no brainer, but in the winter we always find ourselves looking for things to do. Great list!

Yes, thanks. And I can recommend a visit to the Coastal Museum at Honey Horn. Even if you don't go for the tour, it's a beautiful spot to walk around and go out on the boardwalks.
