Timers Trip Report
I just wanted to share a little of
our trip (re-live it) and maybe pass
on some knowledge we gained during
our week to the OBX.
We were two families from central
NJ. We drove down as far as Newport
News, VA and stopped overnight. On
Saturday morning we located the last
Food Lion on 168/158 before reaching
the Island and stocked up with perishable
foods. Prices were no higher or lower
than we would have had at home. We
loaded both coolers and made our south.
We crossed the bridge about 12:30
p.m. on 8/12 and there was traffic
but not the heavy traffic we thought
there would be. Read

Subject: Great
Stay in Avon
Just wanted to say our family vacationed
in Avon last week and had a wonderful
time. I had checked the message board
many times for info before our trip.
I found all info both helpful and
correct. We booked through Hatteras
Realty and had great service. With
kids we didn't venture far from the
pool or beach. Shopped at Food Lion
and smaller grocery retailers and
found prices to be ok. Gas prices
seemed to also be average. All in
all we thought it was a beautiful
place for a family vacation. I don't
wish to offend anyone, but was wondering
why so many jobs were filled by young
(I assume) Russian people? They were
always courteous and service was great.
After we got home and reflected on
our stay we were curious if there
was some sort of exchange program
during the busy season. Thanks for
all the helpful info. We are already
planning a trip next year. Read

back from OBX
Just returned, we had a great time.
We stayed at the Hilton Garden Inn
in Kitty Hawk. It was great, they
need to work on there restaurant though,
mostly staff. I enjoyed the food,
but the staff all seemed young, and
like there wasn't any supervisor around.
We enjoyed everything in the area.
Stack em high is a great breakfast
place that is always crowded, so expect
to wait. We hit traffic leaving Duck
on a Thursday afternoon, it took us
an hour and a half to get from corolla
to kitty hawk.we had a great vacation,
very relaxing. Read
