Greetings all. I am sitting on my porch of building 31 overlooking the marsh while the kids and the wife sleep. It is a gorgeous morning which will start our first full day here at HHI.
Thanks to Doc and everyone else, we requested "second floor, near pool,overlooking marsh." I am so glad we did. This is the perfect spot to start - and finish the day.
This is our first time here. And my wife's first to a DVC resort. I took the kids to one night at OKW and one night at BWV last month before the cruise to "check them out."
Last week, my wife told me that we weren't driving. I was incredulous since we had been planning on driving since we made the ressies. So, thanks to Expedia and Travelocity, I was able to go from Dulles to Charleston for $190 r/t with 7 day advance!
So, to really show my wife why I dropped all this money on DVC, we stayed at a Travelodge Saturday night. It was awful. She hated it and was pretty mad at me during the drive to HH. (Which was not as bad as I thought!) After we checked in at the resort, I gave her the key and told her to check it out and make sure that it was okay. She came back 5 minutes later with her jaw to the ground. Suddenly, I am a hero.
Now, the big question is if we want to add here. I want to do enough for a 1 br for 5 nights (100-125 points) This time, we have a 2br and after being the skeptic, she wants to add enough to do the 2 br every year (165) Hmmm - looks like ol' Dad hit a home run!!
Anyway, the first day was terrific - if anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. Doc will probably answer them first - but I'll try to help too!
Off to the pool!
