I am able to post the link to raccoon video until March 25 apparently!

That is adorable! Just to the right of the main lodge (right as you stand in front and look at the lodge)? And that's near the entrance to the parking garage. We'll be looking for them-but unfortunately we can't look til November.

Question for fellow BRV owners - we're planning a November trip and availability seems bad, so I'm wondering the long-awaited refurb might be happening then. If so is noise going to be an issue? Any chance we'd be getting a brand-newly refurbed room or one that's pretty old and beat up? I imagine nobody knows but I'll throw it out there anyway.

It would be nice if they'd give a date and stick to it but so far no announcements so it's all just a guess. Last week I noted a bunch of availability released back for March-July so I'm thinking that is when they had been planning on the refurb. And about 3 weeks ago I noted what limited availability there was during the last 3 months of the year all disappeared over night. Best guess is that it's been pushed out to then but as I mentioned - only a guess based on what I've seen on the booking tool.

Well, let's hope it's not setting over the Atlantic...LOL

Seriously, those are some beautiful shots. Thanks for posting.

So true! Perhaps I was posting for anyone who might be directionally challenged? That's my story and I'm sticking with it!

Well its been a long time a comin' it feels like, but the mini van is pulling out this AM to head to HHI but a quick 2 night stop is in order 1st in Beaufort SC. Cant wait to get there and relax. Going to catch up with Sleepy and Luv for dinner one night with hopes too of seeing them around the resort. Pictures shall be forthcoming

 

[Corinne]

Awesome Jimmy! Wish we were going to be there at the same time! I will be paying close attention!

 

[Corinne]

Seeing Jimmy‘s post prompted me to take a peek at Page 1 to see what all the other Groupies are up to. It makes me sad to see there are not many 2022 trips planned thus far.

I hope there are many plans in the works, and that the plans will come to fruition.

Thanks, Corinne, for bringing up trip plans as that reminds me that if anyone has a trip planned they want on the Page 1 (or a trip that you'd like to remove), just drop me a line. As a general rule, I don't update that page based just on any day-to-day Groupie discussions of trips. Thanks!

 

[Corinne]

I am about to PM you now Sleepy!

 

[sleepydog25]

Woohoo! I've been PM'd three times this afternoon, and Page 1 has been updated. Thanks, Groupies!

 

[Corinne]

Thank YOU for maintaining our list!

 

[DVC Jen]

@sleepydog25, I just sent you a message as well.

After arriving in Beaufort SC yesterday we took these photos of the street we are on, mostly to show the Spanish moss in the trees along with a shot of the 1920s era home are staying in

Went to Hunting island beach today near Beaufort
Found these shells/sandollars/sharks teeth washed up within a 20 minute span along the shoreline
The lighthouse there is no longer in use but still well maintained

 

[jimmytammy]

Will be on the sly for sleepy tomorrow afternoon at HHI

 

[Corinne]

I’m obsessed with sand dollars! Hope I find one on HHI!

 

[jimmytammy]

[Corinne]

Nice Jimmy! I assume you are in Building 31? Did you make a request for the building? Any chance you could post more pics of the view? Boy am I demanding

 

[Corinne]

Oh wait, was your first photo your view from your room, or the house you were staying in?
