I skated at all three rinks when I was in the area for business a few years ago. All had friendly people and between the three rinks, you should be able to easily find some ice time. Iceland has a smaller rink, but they let me take in an ISI Freestyle class as a walk-on. On one of the weekends I was there, Hampton Roads Ice Plex had a USFS competition that I went to watch. I had seen a lot of the skaters working on their programs the previous two weeks, and it was neat to see them in competition.
Enjoy your vacation, and take advantage to skate at some new rinks and meet some new skaters.
