i suck. i can’t believe i haven’t done anything for more than a month. i could make excuses, but i won’t.

 

anyway, just spent five days in hilton head. it was fun. it was boring. it was supposed to be boring, and that was the fun. frankly, my vacations need some mix of doing stuff and not doing anything, and this one was just not doing anything, which i really thought i needed, but i could’ve used a little doing something. i’ll remember that next time.

 

we stayed at disney’s hilton head resort, because we are in the disney vacation club, and it was a good way to burn some points. i have to say, i was a little surprised at how cold it was. what with global warming and all. hi’s were in the hi 50s/low 60s, and lows in the low 40s, and i bet colder, actually. so upshot: we were planning on going kayaking, and it didn’t happen.

 

there also wasn’t a lot of restaurant stuff happening. hilton head says it has a bazillion and a half great restaurants, but i have combed the menus of literally a couple of hundred of them, and put them in three main classifications: 1) overpriced tourist fried seafood; 2) possibly interesting, but definitely overpriced and 3) crap. i’m intrigued by some of the places in category 2, but not really interested in taking the chance.

 

 

i went down to the beach once, but had to walk straight into a wind that was icy and probably blowing at 20-30 mph. mostly, i walked along the marina, we caught up on reading and watched some tv. not the worst way to spend a vacation.

 

oh, and we spent a day in savannah, and took a trolley tour. that was fun. and while there, we had lunch at paula deen’s restaurant. i’ll address that in a separate post.
