Was actually much better than it sounds ... my wife's van is a dream to drive, has a great entertainment system for the kids and a bloody nice sound system for the adults. Throw in a Gameboy and some Harry Potter books and the kids were fine.
Sadly, I still had to battle the wife for control of the stereo ... a man can only take so much of the BeeGees and Commodores. The resulting increase in average speed probably cut about 15% off of the overall travel time, though.
;D
Enjoy your trip and take pictures of the arcades if you visit them -- we're likely going back next year for a longer stay (and I'm going to skip the fishing), so will want something to do.

CJ, I will be glad to do so in your honor. :D

I prefer Topsail Island, NC to the Outer Banks, but the arcades there (used to be some GREAT ones on fishing piers) have disappeared. There was seriously an arcade attached to the Scotch Bonnet Pier that was the size of a warehouse and had shutter gates that were open to a boardwalk on the beach.

outer banks is awesome. forget the arcades! go hang gliding or something (",)
vintagegamer:
We will be there for a week, so I can definitely make time to hit at least one arcade in the area- I'll have to do some sleuthing to see if there are more.
And SHAME on you for being at an arcade site and blaspheming arcading to go hang-gliding!! PFFTT!!! :D
