Marriott Harbor Point at Shelter Cove, Hilton Head South Carolina

 This timeshare is right on the salt marsh or Broad Creek.  We were lucky enough to have a view off of our balcony. 


We ended up with a corner unit so there was much more light due to the large dining space window.

The pool here is decent-sized and has lovely views over the marsh.  There are tennis/pickleball courts and a fitness center to work out in.



The living room/dining room/kitchen are all well set up.  The kitchen is a bit squishy with the stackable laundry unit in the corner opposite the fridge. 


There are granite counters and nice new appliances.  

The unit has been recently renovated and looks very modernly decorated.


The master bedroom is tight and does not even have a chair in it to set things down on or sit on.  The place where the 2 bedroom/2 bathroom unit falls desperately short is the bathrooms.  We have never been in such a small primary bathroom in any hotel or timeshare.  It is extremely tight.  The door opens and sits against the bathtub and you can not squeeze in between the toilet and the counter to access one end of the countertop.  There is only one sink which is a big downer for a timeshare.  I gave this timeshare a 3-star due to the incredibly small and uncomfortable bathrooms.


The spare bedroom is a decent size.


The bathroom is extremely tight and uncomfortable as well.  The door on it which opens to a small wasted space of a hallway is so thin that when one sits at the dining room toilet one can hear everything in that bathroom.  If they renovate this area of this unit you must increase the bathroom space by closing off the spare bathroom only with access from the bathroom and use the wasted space in the hallway to increase the primary bathroom.


The spare bathroom is tight with an extremely small old-style shower cave.


The spare bathroom is so tiny that the sink is in a corner and you have to look to either side to see your reflection in the mirror.







However disappointing the bathrooms are at this Marriott, Shelter Cove is a lovely area to stay in.  You can walk or bike to everything.  There are grocery stores and even a Lululemon in this area.  The marina is very close and walkable and there are many dolphins spotted in this Broad Creek area.

Climbing Mt. Solmar with The Dogs, Los Cabos, Mexico

Image
We heard about this climb from Darren's niece who had done the exact climb last week.  Whenever you do a search on hikes in the Los Cabos area, this Mount Solmar hike does not come up.  I would highly recommend it though because it was a great deal of fun and it was challenging.  I went with 3 friends and to top it all off there was a bunch of dogs walking with us up the mountain.   Enrique runs a Dog Training Center.  He started this hike with dogs to train them most likely. And now people join him for free and climb up Mount Solmar with the dogs. The dogs love it and they are barking and in a bit of a frenzy before you go.  You take an Uber or drive your car to the dog training center and you wait in line at 8:00 a.m. this hike accompanied by dogs is available every morning except Saturday.   Kent, Joelle, Craig and I in the line-up to get into see the dogs and start the climb. Enrique led us into the compound and gave us a talk on the area...

Ixtapa Island- Ixtapa, Mexico

Image
This is Coral Beach on Ixtapa Island The kids wanted to go to Ixtapa Island because this is where the best snorkeling is located in the Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo areas.  When we first started asking around and getting price quotes for this, we were getting prices anywhere from 90 - 110 American per person for a day trip to Ixtapa Island.  Anyone who knows us know that we hate organized tours because you get herded around like cattle, you don't get to make your own decisions and 90% of the time they are a rip-off for something that you can organize yourself.   Once the kids found out how expensive it was they began to research this trip and they realized that it's quite achievable to do without a tour or a tour guide for a fraction of the cost. We first took a taxi from Hilton Grand where we were staying to Playa Linda, where the Pier is located for the water taxis.  Our taxi from the Hilton Grand cost 300 pesos to get the 4 of us to Playa Linda where a lot of marke...

Kuilau Ridge Trail - Kauai, Hawaii

Image
My son Dax wanted to do this trail because it was in the interior of the island in the Rain Forest of Kauai. Some unusual Dr. Seuss like plants behind Kim. There is quite a bit of parking available before and after the bridge. There are washrooms available, they are super gross of the non flushing kind and the smell was really bad worse than your average outdoor Biffy. The trail begins at the yellow metal gates and there is a lot of elevation to climb up for the first section.  Eventually you get to the pretty views of a multitude of greens. You can literally take a ton of photos because every view is gorgeous! The forest is thick with some scary steep drop offs but the trail is wide enough for safety  You can continue for a longer trail for another 3.2 miles past the bridge but our hike was already going to be 2 hours round trip so we stopped at the bridge. That was enough beauty for one day. I highly recommend this hike and gave it a 5 out of 5 because it was moderately chal...
