Austin is a great place and seems like a decent place to live, but a destination??? I need to spend more time there apparently. My company is basically relocating there though like many tech firms.

Covid kept me away from OBX last year. This year it will be the crowds. Sigh......

I can see it now - TP shortage by June terpsno1 Funny you should say that. I read an article two weeks ago that predicted just that. It seems that so many people are shopping via the internet now, it has caused a wood pulp shortage. Cardboard box companies, and TP companies are in competition for the same product. Buy bulk.

I'm a witness that it's already busy Easter week. We were on the beach too. Plus they have a bike week coming up later in later April ..motorcycles.

I'm sure the revenuers are happy about that. The full time residents, probably not so much.

Covid did not keep me from OBX last August and will return this August. Been going to OBX with family and myself/friends since 1959. Not even hurricanes in the early 80's and 90's (before they made you leave!). Daughter is getting married next July in OBX, so two trips next year! Everyone enjoy and even when the Banks are "hopping" no comparison to the crowded beaches in Maryland, i.e., OC (haven't been there since the 80's).

I get Disney and OBX but I find Yellowstone by twice as much an odd choice. Any chance those answering mean Yellowstone with Kevin Costner vs the National State Park.

Mrgym18 True. I grew up 45 minutes east of CP and worked there in the mid 70s. It’s all about the roller coasters for me. Went to Disney World once while on an extended work assignment in the Orlando area. Highly disappointed. Getting my CP roller coaster fix late August this year.
