lol..no problem, the way were planning this trip you would almost think we were newbies! Would love to find something with direct beach access without having to get back in the truck like we do at ocean city MD. Originally the wife wanted to try myrtle beach we have never been but know many who have. Sounded good, but I couldn't imagine trying to drive that straight through, so that's where we came up with cape hatteras.
after reviewing it all we might just end back at OC MD, but haven't ruled out NC totally, I just need to see if there are truck stops along the way where we could pull into if need be that wouldn't have an issue with a generator running.
when we say we are looking for dining near rodanthe, we are looking for things such as crab shacks...not 5 star dining.
