Did we mention that we love Thanksgiving!? ☺️

On this week's episode of the Outer Banks Travel Podcast, we're bringing the second part of our OBX Thanksgiving special! If a restuarant experience for the big day isn't quite what you're looking for, this week is for you! We're talking through options for take out, catering, and even concierge services to help you plan your semi-homemade Thanksgiving in the Outer Banks. If running off your Thanksgiving calorie intake is something you might enjoy, we are sharing info on a few turkey-day fun runs in the area, as well!

From our OBTP family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!

What do a vice president's daughter, a chunky cat, and a mysterious disappearance all have in common?

On this week's episode, Amy and Kendall are chatting through a few pieces of OBX legend and lore. The Outer Banks is bursting at the seams with tales of old - from pirates and plunder to shipwrecks and squalls...and this week, we just start to scratch the service on a few of those stories. So are they more history, more mystery, or somewhere in between? You can decide!

And just like that, the Outer Banks has lost an iconic landmark....

On this week's episode, Amy and Kendall discuss the recent loss by fire of the Futuro House - affectionately known by many as the Frisco UFO. If you're not familiar with this piece of OBX "history", we will discuss a bit of its past as well as its unfortunate demise. On a lighter note, we also give a quick recap of a few fall events that we've collectively experienced and a preview of Kendall's upcoming trip!

Ahoy, mateys! Land lubbers beware - pirates are coming to take over Ocracoke Island! ⚓️

We'll admit it...our attempt at 'pirate-speak' should have probably stopped before that last sentence...but just because we can't speak like them, doesn't mean we are any less excited to enjoy the 2022 Blackbeard's Pirate Jamboree on Ocracoke Island! On this week's episode, Amy sits down with Connie Leinbach of the Ocracoke Observer to talk through this family-friendly event which sets sail in Ocracoke on October 28th and 29th! Did we mention the whole event is free?! AARGH! 🏴‍☠️

So whether you can make it this year, or are planning a trip for a year to come, make sure you check out this week's episode for all things Pirate Jamboree on Ocracoke Island - anchor.fm/hello-obtp . Let's dive in! 🌊

The Outer Banks is undeniably a special place - whether it's your first visit or your 40th. But what happens when the price of everything around you, including vacation rental costs, seems to be increasing?

On this week's episode, Amy and Kendall are addressing a common complaint that we see across the OBX message boards - "Why do rental prices seem to be increasing so rapidly and what happens if we can't afford to make our trips anymore?" For some folks, especially those who have a yearly tradition in the Outer Banks, this thought can be crushing. So what can be done? We're offering all of our tips and tricks, as well as a little of our opinion on why the price hikes seem to occur in the first place.

Add in a bit of an update on hurricane Ian and general storm preperations, and you've got this week's OBTP episode. Check it out at anchor.fm/hello-obtp - let's dive in!

There are a few things that the Outer Banks may be "famous" for, but as we've mentioned time and time again on OBTP, there are also quite a few hidden gems that some guests may have not yet considered!

Last week, we had a very special guest who joined us to discuss a well-loved, albeit sometimes undiscovered, hobby that thrives on the Outer Banks - birding!! 🦉🦆🐦 Our guest owns and operates a birding tour company right in the OBX which caters to guests of all experience levels!

Whether you're ready to discover a new passion, or continuing to pursue a life-long love for the adventure of birding in a new special place, this episode has something for you!
