Actual: This morning SB had a 7:30 appointment for labwork, and
although I’d planned on leaving for Hilton Head somewhere between 9 &
10, he was antsy and ready to go right away. He’d packed up all his
stuff, too. So, in the interest of compromise, I suggested we leave
around 8:30. We’re most likely going to be sitting around up there
waiting for the villa to be ready, but we’ll just have to deal with
it.
We ended up leaving by 8
stopped at Waffle House for breakfast about an hour away. Breakfast
was quick and tasty
Pete & Judy were hungry so we walked over to Tide Me Over and they
shared a chicken & waffles meal. It’s so disappointing to still see
there are no tables or barstools out there – you get your food and
then have to go downstairs or inside the ugly Community Hall to eat.
They limit capacity at the Mercantile, so some of us had to wait to
go inside. Also, on the way out we saw the pool was at capacity, so
people have to wait for that too! Amanda was disappointed in that,
since afternoon is a good time for Ari to use the pool (morning is
beach time).
We left Community Hall and moved the cars and then dragged everything upstairs to the villa. Unpacking actually went quickly. I called housekeeping for extra blankets, and around 3:30 checked in with Pete
& Judy. They’d just come back from Kroger, and said their room
stinks of cigarette smoke (this is a no-smoking resort). He asked
what to do and I suggested he physically walk down to the front desk
and tell them he expects them to make this right by the time he gets
back from dinner. Maybe they can get an air scrubber or something in
there to clear the stench out. The resort’s sold out, so moving
isn’t likely.
Chris, Amanda, Ari, SB & I headed over to Poseidon around 4. The
happy hour is only at the bar (which was pretty much full) and at the
4-5 high-top tables next to the bar. Fortunately, 2 tables were
empty and we were able to push them together to make a table to fit
all of us.
After eating Chris & SB took Ari over to the park and SB let Ari hit
some baseballs while Chris fielded. Baseball is one of the sports
Ari is involved in, and he seems to be good at any sport he tries.
Today other than having to wait 2 hours after arrival for the room to
be ready, it was a great day.
It’s very disappointing about Pete &
Judy’s room – I would not be happy!!! The resort said they’re doing “the best we can” but that’s bullcrap. The housekeeper should have noticed the disgusting smoke and alerted people so the previous
guests were contacted & fined. I’d be willing to bet none of that
ever happened.
