Default New Plan -- Going to Kill Devil Hills

Jay, I'm coming into this thread late, so you may have already settled
on your plans. But ... adding to what others have posted (and for
anyone else looking for a place to visit):

Hampton Roads has =lots= to offer (Williamsburg, Newport News, York
County, Hampton, Norfolk and Virginia Beach, among other localities:
-- Touted as the "Historic Triangle"
---- 1-Yorktown Battlefield
------ including some lesser Civil War sites nearby
---- 2-Historic Williamsburg
---- 3-Jamestown Landing, and Jamestown Settlement
------ with recreations of the 3 ships that brought the first settlers
------ and they're celebrating the 300th anniversary of the landing
-- Mariner's Museum, the premier nautical museum in the U.S.
---- opened just this weekend - the Monitor exhibit
------ with artifacts recovered from the wreck site
-- Hampton Air & Space Museum
---- not the Smithsonian or Air Force museum, but some nice exhibits
-- In Norfolk and Virginia Beach
---- Nauticus with oceanography exhibits and the Wisconsin
---- Norfolk Naval Base, the largest Naval Base in the world
------ at least one aircraft carrier in port almost always
---- Virginia Beach itself

Airports?
-- Newport News/Williamsburg (PHF), Rick Aviation provides good service.
Lodging and restaurants nearby. Three miles to Yorktown, 8 miles to
Williamsburg, 16 miles to Jamestown
-- Williamsburg (JGG), nice small airport, in the middle of the Historic
Triangle. Nice daytime restaurant on the field. Two miles to Williamsburg.
-- Others on 'southside' (Norfolk [airlines] plus smaller Chesapeake
(CPK), Hampton Roads (PVG), & Suffolk (SFQ)

Going south?
-- stop at Ocracoke (W95); it's a regular for lunch
---- 1/2 mile walk to food at Howard's Pub
---- I'd expect someone will pick you up for lodging
-- Moorhead City (MRH); nice place to overnight
---- almost 'in town', interesting quaint sourthern coastal city
