My fiancee and I are planning to get married next Memorial Day weekend

My wife and I just returned to Tucson from a week at Hilton Head. In spite
of a lot of rain, we had a great time. Sure different from the summers in
Arizona. We used a lot information from these travelogues to know where to
eat, and what to see, so here's my contribution: Out favorite Restaurant
was the Cafe at Wexford. Great food, great atmosphere, and great service.
It's in the Village at Wexford, right off 278. We enjoyed lunch so much we
went back for dinner and it was even better. We also enjoyed Fitzgeralds -
better service than most places, and good food. We also really enjoyed
Neno Il Toscano. Our waiter was having a bad day, but the food and
atmosphere more than made up for him. If you want a realy nice Italian
dinner, go to Neno's. Cafe Europa was highly recommended, but it turned
out to be a sandwich place, and not a very god one. If you're looking for
prompt service, and something more than burgers and sandwiches, skip this
one. The only thing it has going for it is the view of the harbor. If you
e near Coligny plaza, give steamers a try. It's lound, but kind of fun,
and the food isn't too bad, but a little expensive. Giusseppi's for Pizza,
Skillets for breakfast, and Crazy Crab for a good lunch are all safe bets.
And the food at Sante Fe Cafe was not bad at all. I would highly recommend
taking a day trip to Charleston. If you've never been there, you can take
a two hour walk through the historic district, and see a lot of cool
stuff. I'd also recommend doing anything around Kiawah or Seabrook
islands. Wow! If you're a golfer, save your money and skip Harbour town.
It was in lousy shape (again) and it's overpriced for a narrow forest
course. Spend the cash on the Ocean Course at Kiawah - it was worth every
penny. We also played Arthur Hills, which was a lot of fun. One of the
kids there suggested Melrose on Daufuskie Island. Next time we're going to
play there. One last note. Whatever you do, spend sunset standing knee
deep in the Ocean. If the water is as warm as it was last week, it's the
best way to enjoy dusk. The sunsets in Tucson are pretty spectacular, but
we have all beach and no ocean, so it was a special way to finsih off
every day.

We own a townhome in Shipyard and our favorite places to eat are the
following: Love the Steamer in Coligny - best meal is the Voodoo Skillet
AWESOME! We have had wonderful experiences at the Old Oyster Factory.
Great atmosphere too. Tried the Jolly Lobster on Palmetto Bay Road next to
Food Lion. Great food, not so great service. For lunch our favorite place
is the Sea Shack (rated top 25 seafood "dives" in the Lowcountry - where
locals eat) and also Captains Seafood is the old standby favorite. I won't
give away anymore favorites for fear of longer lines!!

I first came to HHI in 1998 on an extended weekend with my family &
thought the island was pretty nice. I came cback last year with just my
Fiance' and really had a chance to look around, this time for 4 days.
Well, THIS year I've booked a condo for a WEEK for my fiance , Me & my son
and cannot wait to sit on the deck & watch the ocean, Go to Steamers (At
Coliginy Plaza- Best easygoing restaurant on the island)and much on fresh
crab legs, and generally soak in the ambiance that is Hilton Head Island.
As each visit becomes longer, I'll eventually LIVE there.

I'll be visiting Hilton Head for the first time in July. As an avid
Arizona golfer, I want to golf everywhere! I had hopes of playing on
Kiawah Island. Does anyone know an easy way to get there from Hilton Head?
Looks like the drive is pretty long - is there a way there by boat? Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

I just returned from a second glorious vacation to Hilton Head in the last
two years. My parents used to own a condo at Shorewood (South Forest Beach
Drive) when I was a child in the '70s. It's been about 21 years since I've
visited the island. Last summer was my first time back in decades and, as
an adult, I appreciated it so much more. I returned this year and am
planning a fall/winter vacation simply because going only once a year
seems far too long between visits. Has anyone visited in the fall/winter?
How is the weather? I'm wondering if beach combing (strolling at the
water's edge) and/or swimming is possible at that time of year or if it's
too cold! I think my favorite activity is parasailing and my favorite
restaurant is Alexander’s. They have a pecan and ginger crusted Mahi Mahi
that is to die for! Glad to read so many others love this island as much
as I do. If I had the money, I would buy a place there. If I were rich
enough, I'd live there year round!

We been vacationing at Hilton Head Island for a number of years. Recently,
we been staying in the Palmetto Dunes Plantation at the Villamare. This is
a condominum high rise resort next to the Hyatt Hotel. It is on the beach
and has a large outdoor pool and a indoor workout center with small pool
and hot tub. We like it because it is a new complex and it is located in
the center of the activities we like: tennis, golf, biking, walking and
dinning. Speaking of dinning Alexander's restaurant is just a block away.
I like to walk to Alexander's and back. The villamare also has outdoor
grills and we cook our beach boil dinners out there. We visited Hilton
Head Island in September 2000 and we are going back in just a few weeks in
May 2001.

My wife and I will be spending only a day in Hilton Head in May of this
year (2001). We're not golfers. We just want to get a taste of the Hilton
Head atmosphere. So, two questions for you. (1) We will have one dinner in
Hilton Head. If you could name ONE place that you would eat if you only
had one more day in your entire life to eat in HHI, what would it be? And,
(2) If you had only one day to see the sights of Hilton Head, where would
you go? Thanks,

My son and I are arriving on May 1st about 3:00 pm at Hilton Head
Airport and would like to play a round of golf and stay the night in a

and motel information around the entrance to Hilton Head please. Thank

week. There are 5 of us ranging in age from 47 to 16 yrs.old. My daughter
and her boyfriend are golf fanatics. The weeks we are possibly looking at
are either June 11th thru 17th or July 9th thru 15th. We would love ocean
