Have you ever relaxed? Not just an hour or two when you feel like you've escaped from the stresses of the moment, but several hours-maybe even days- when you just put it all in prospective and you don't even spend a moment thinking about seemingly insurmountable tasks. I think this is how I felt on Hilton Head Island. The Island is divided into neighborhoods that are called "plantations." Initially this was confusing as I was prepared to visit all the different plantation homes that I believed existed. After reviewing the map, and taking a ride through one, it became apparent that I was a bit confused. I think each of these plantations offers a different beautiful view. Almost every plant
ation has a dramatic entrance surrounded by greenery. Oak trees dripping in spanish moss (very reminiscent of New Orleans) led us into Port Royal Plantation where we stayed in a more than spacious 3 bedroom condo. Largely a family oriented vacation destination offering beaches, boutique shopping and bike trails that span the length of the Island. There's a friendly approachable feel but at the same time it's not too intrusive. Despite the fact that we had a fully stocked kitchen we went out for many meals to
take advantage of the seafood that surrounded us! I shared with my sister a nice appetizer of crab claws- and they cracked off the shells for us- that always just makes things so much easier! It's not very uncharacteristic of me but I can't seem to remember the name of the restaurant where we enjoyed this meal, but it was in Harbor Town across from the well-known lighthouse. Before the trip was over, I was discussing with my sister about booking the condo again for next year.
