Wow, lots of good advice and experiences! Here's what I've decided about a couple of issues.
1) If time after snorkeling, we will do Diamond Head if everyone is up for it.
2) North shore day and resort day can be swapped depending on how we are feeling when we get up. If no one wants to leave the resort on Saturday then that's fine. We can do it Sunday or even Monday after Surf lessons.
3) I've been reading all the recommendations to hit the ABC store across the street for food/drinks so I think we'll definitely do that.
4) I'm thinking of renting a cabana for our check out day so we have a place to hang out/get out of the sun and keep our stuff without it getting moved. It would be a total splurge as we've never ever rented one before on any of our vacations. We might just take our chances and see if there is a half day slot opened when we get there or even a couple of those casabellas. Still thinking about this....
So in the end I'm still tweaking and thinking about stuff for our itinerary but I really appreciate all the comments. I can't imagine going on this trip without all the advice here on the DISboards. I'm having so much researching, reading trip reports, planning etc. I tell my husband that all the research and planning is half the fun of the vacation for me
