We just got home from a week in Corolla about 4 hours ago, and
I've spent the entire evening uploading photos to get printed
right away because words can't do justice when I return to the
regular grind this week and try to explain just how amazing this
vacation really was. As I'm uploading, I'm searching the
internet for places just like this, because I can't shake this
feeling that I wish I had never left!! I could see myself
retiring there forever!!

My family has been going to the Seafoam Motel for 31 yrs.
When I first went there, it was 1990, my baby was 8, she is
now in medical school, my other daughter was 10, she is now
bringing her two babies down from Maine this year. My baby
brother was 8 when they first went there, he is turning 39
today. We are all going back together this July. This is
going to be a big time this year.

We are traveling by car to KittyHawk in July from upstate
New York and would like to know what is the best route to
take. Travel around Washington, D.C. is always heavy.

Hi, you probably have lots of answers by now - but I just
wanted to share that Kill Devil Hill or Nags Head have more
things for teenagers to do. Remember, that the Outer Banks
are actually several towns that are within miles of each
other, so it will be easy to get to a different "town". The
most removed are the north end which is Corolla, Duck, and
Corova. The most southern end has Avon, Salvo, Waves,
Rodanthe, Hatteras. Anything in the middle - which is
Southern Shores, Kill Devil Hills, and Nags Head is
centrally located. Hope this helps. Hope you enjoy OBX!

I am desperately looking for a 3 BR 2 BA long term
affordable rental home in the Kill Devil Hills, NC area.
Going through a divorce where husband abandoned my 13 yr old
daughter and me. My elderly mother of 72 also lives with
daughter and I. Looking for this area particular for
daughter to be able to play for the OBX soccer team and need
to relocate to area that will be closer to my sister and
also have good soccer program for daughter. We have a cat
who is 8 yrs old, front paws are declawed, neutered, and has
always been indoor cat and has always been fully litter box
trained. Looking to relocate no later than June 15, 2008
(possibly much earlier!) Have been surfing the net and have
not been able to find anything that meets the rent
affordability, # BRs and BAs, right location and accepts
pets! PLEASE HELP if you have or know of any long term
rental that might possibly meet all the above. Thanks so
much!

My boyfriend have planned a road trip in April. Starting in
Myrtle Beach to Charleston to Savannah to Asheville to
Winston Salem to Wilmington. Trying to find a place to stay
in North Carolina. Either in Asheville or somewhere between
Asheville and Winston Salem. This is our first trip together
and we are dying to stay somewhere with an awesome view of
the mountains. Any suggestions?
Thank you,
lesley

I am a responsible LEGAL 18 year college freshman who just
wants to go to the beach with my suitemate and other
friends. But the state of North Carolina doesn't want us
too! Come on give the bored college kids a break. There is
no reason we should be discriminated against because we
still have our youth and want to have a little independence
from our FAMILY!

We live in Pefferlaw Ontario, which is 1 hour north of
Toronto, Ontario.
We have split-level house on a large lot with a river at the
bottom. The
residential neighborhood is situated in the York Region
Forest, and is a 5
minute drive from Lake Simcoe.
We are looking for a house on the coast, for July and August
'08.
Regards, Matt.

My family (6 adults and 2 toddlers or possibly extended
family which will add 5 more adults)) have gone to Myrtle
Beach for yrs and are looking for a change and thinking
about the outer banks. While we have heard some good things,
we have also heard that the currents are so bad in some
areas that you can't get in the ocean, there is no where to
go out to eat, water is too cold in June, etc. Any plusses
or negatives you can give us would be appreciated. We would
love a house with a pool or a nice condo.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help me out with some
information. My nephews love collecting shells at the beach.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a really good area in
Nagshead for shell collecting. Are there any spots that tend
to have more shells than others. Any suggestions would be
greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I am replying about Stack'M High Pancakes. I loved the
simple but effective way of be served like a cafeteria line
then you order your breakfast pay for it, and a nice lady
points you to your seats. After your meal is cooked they
bring it to you . It was very good but the seating was tight
but it made you feel as though you were at home and you were
eating breakfast with the world. people were very nice and
in a good jolly mood.

Hi, we are going to the Avon area of the Outer Banks
shortly. When I was little, I was at a wonderful crabbing
site but have not been able to remember nor find the place
since. Can you give me pointers on where I can go. I will
travel up and down a bit. Thanks, Amy

Where is there a regular grocery store located near DUCK? Is
there one on the way into OBX? --- We're just trying to
figure out where to stop prior to getting to our rental
house. --- Any information you can provide would be very
helpful.
THANK YOU!

I know I'm hooked on the OBX because we keep going back,
wife and 5 kids, even though we cant afford it. Always in
salvo, its actually much less expensive
than it could be. Can't wait, we leave again in 5 days.

Look into the KOA campground on Hatteras Island. I just returned
from Hatteras and it is very quiet and remote. There are no fast
food restaurants, even grocery stores are hard to find.

Did you find anywhere to go horseback riding? Please let me

Can anyone please tell me what the detour was about yesterday
(Sat., 6/16/07) morning between 8am and 10am south of Moyock? We
had a great vacation in Nags Head during the previous week and
then spent two hours diverted off of Rte. 158. We rejoined Rte.
168 in front of the Moyock VFD.
Thanks, Gary

I need a place to relax and grab a bit of peace and quiet. I've
been the main care giver to a husband with MS, a mother with
Alzheimer's (recently deceased) and an elderly father, and a
wonderful teenage daughter! Can anyone recommend a quiet, safe,
campground near the water that has camp sites that I can park
near, since I have post-polio and walking is frequently a
challenge. My daughter and I would like to relax, dream, read,
and laugh for a few days in August. Thought somewhere on the
outer banks might be a good location. Any suggestions would be
welcome.

As far as the crabbing goes we have had some luck at times on the bridge on the way back into
Collington Harbo. Its the right turn right after the Wright Memorial a couple miles back.
Make sure that you are there while the tide is moving in or out seems like the best time. When
the tide ebs action drops off. Last year caught about 2 dozen keepers in about two hours.
Good luck.

I would be interested in securing a seat, but I will be the only one in my
party. Have you heard from any others? I would definitely be interested.
