We managed to navigate a spaghetti of highways and road works to the city centre to find our hotel. Bette Daversquos Aunt was there to meet us with a warm welcome and a large basket of goodies including the makings of a fine GT. It was great to have a shower and sleep in a bed and we had some fine meals too Thanks t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/blog-301072.html Dear AllFollowing a weekend as a tourist in Newport Rhode Island I drove 30 miles down the road to see Brown and Rhode Island School of Art and Design. The two campuses are within a block of each other and have reciprocal agreements with each other where students from one school can take students at the other school.BROWN Give yourself plenty of time to get to this school. There is no public http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/Providence/blog-299994.html This day was a long day. We were supposed to drive home but I wanted to fit in tours of the Breakers and Rosecliff before we hit the road. The tours did not begin until 9 so we entertained ourselves by taking a leisurely ride gawking over the mansions or cottages as the locals would say and the views of Ocean Drive. We made it to the Breakers at 9 sharp. Our tour guide was excellent. I think t http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/blog-298506.html Well as I'm writing this we have about 133 days left until our inaugural fllight. We made the big leap last month and bought our first flight on cheaptickets.com via kayak.com. We officially leave on Saturday July 12 at 820 from JFK Airport in New York and arrive in Marrakech Morroco on Sunday July 13 at 930 a.m. This as I recall is our first flight on Royal Air Maroc.

I've written two blogs here and this is simply an intro letter. I think there is a link to ask to not receive notice so you can opt out if you would like. I'll try to keep it fun and light and add pictures and video and stuff. http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/blog-231525.html In 1970 Scott Tasca and I were 18 years old. Neither of us shaved more than once a week. We weren't grungy. We just didn't need to shave more than that. We both wore our hair long and bleached blonde. We wore bell bottom jeans that rode low on our hips and t shirts and necklaces of shells around the neck. We were surfers and freshman at the University of Rhode Island. We roomed together in http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/blog-230152.html So I am off to London on the 17th of December. Whilst staying in a few hostels and enjoying the local pubs I will be interviewing for a job with the Imaginative Traveller. If offered the position as tour leader I will be off to SEAsia or perhaps Egypt within a few short weeks thereafter. This interview is something I look forward to and only mildly dread. I am surprisingly calm but certain this http://www.travelblog.org/North-America/United-States/Rhode-Island/Providence/blog-225191.html Posted by Onaxthiel We hung out in Imagisme and Catalysts' apartment until they had both headed off to work. Luckily this delayed our departure until the Boston traffic pattern had slowed down somewhat. The weather was quite cooperative for a day of seeing Revolutionary War sights.

The homes in that area of New Jersey are incredible. I was told they still have fox hunts on horseback and play polo. I guess they have not broken away entirely from the motherland yet. It is very pretty up there.
