there's no way around Sat A.M. check-in jams on the island bridges but they move fast usually. can you drive halfway Fri nite? - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 08:08 1
- Wouldn’t be a bad idea. We’re planning on packing a cooler to get us through to Sunday before we have to hit a grocery store. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 08:14
When we were going (in the 90s) we left Maryland around 5am. I remember those times. -- nm - MDH Jul 6, 07:50
I've never had to sit long in traffic. But then I haven't been out there since 2018. Hopefully it won't be too bad for you though. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:34 8

    - South Nags Head -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 07:46 5
      - Nice. Sam and Omie's has pretty good food. Are you going to head down to Hatteras at all? Or Bodie Lighthouse? -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 07:54 4
        
        I think those are on our list, yeah, but don’t have any firm plans as of yet. - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 08:00 3
        
        Nice! There are also a few day use areas (not sure why they called them that) around Rodanthe/ Salvo which face west where you can watch - sycor Jul 6, 08:02 2
        
        I bet that’s lovely, thanks for the tip! -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 08:03 1
        
        Depending on how long you are going the ferry ride to Ocracoke island is nice and there is a restaurant there named Jason's that used to have - sycor Jul 6, 08:09
so leave at 3! -- nm - decline Jul 6, 07:31 1
