I'm headed back down to the Outer Banks in about 3 weeks and I can't wait!!! Just like last year I'm going down with about 15 friends to stay at one of the big rentals. We'll be in Nags Head (I think) and the house looks awesome. I doubt we'll hit up too many bars or anything which is fine by me since the house has a kegerator and we'll have plenty of booze. Plus, I'll have a week out of the office, so I got that going for me, which is nice.

If you do go out and hit bars don't drink and drive. Nags Head is the king at DUI's. Back in the early 80's 60 minutes did a segment on Nags Head and DUI's and that's because they where so tough on them back then. Get a cab or walk. Last June produced some great surfing with several storms staying off shore and driving in the big waves. Our place is right at the 8 mile marker in Nags Head.

trip was awesome i was torn up(in a good way) the entire week. and i definitley found some waves. i was in whale head and there was a really nice sand bar that me and my buddy found, they weren't huge by any means but with a 10 foot board it was pretty nice.

the house we stayed in was pretty nice, it had a sick ass theater room i wish it would have been football season cause a 100"+ hd picture is awesome. we did have one problem with our septic tank though, and hoepfully next year will be free once all is said and done. best part of the whole trip was no traffic there or back

The trip to Nags Head is much better after they opened up the Chesapeake Bypass or what ever they call it. Up until 10 years ago it was a single lane road to nags head after you get off 64. Now most of the trafic issues are from Williamsburg to the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel.
