Newport is lovely. Hotel suprised us with champagne, strawberries and chocolates last night, for our retirement! Bed is amazing - they provide a step as it is a very high four poster. Fine, till Peter got up in the night and forgot about the drop - the thump as he hit the floor must have been a rude awakening for the people downstairs.
The mansions are a sight to behold and I certainly need to find out more about the Vanderbilts and how they got their fortune. Done the cliff walk along the ocean this morning, 3.5 miles of spectacular views. Then we've done the 10 mile ocean drive this evening.
Harbour was good today - fog bound yesterday so great to see the boats today. Also toured the shipyard. No security worries there.
Watching news about the packages on the planes - all about the President and his comments. Was it a BMI baby plane?
Off to the Irish Bar for food tonight and then drive to NYC tomorrow. Will have driven 4500 miles. Going to take luggage to hotel then car to airport. Halloween is crazy here and there are big events in NYC all weekend. TV this morning had presenters dressed up and competitions etc. Just don't get it!!
This is probably the last blog so thank you for reading it and for keeping in touch. Will be lovely to catch up with you all once we are back.
Love Jane and Peter xx
