The very nature of a travel blogger is to travel …well that seems obvious. …..but when travel isn’t allowed what is this travel blogger doing? Following my government’s rules and guidelines to stay safe…….goes without saying. I am thinking positively and planning future travel. I have four overseas trips booked but can see that two […]
Some of my favourite photos of a two day stay in Newport in the fall.
Just as it suggests a walk along the cliff path where the Atlantic Ocean meets Rhode Island. Cliff Walk can be accessed via Memorial Boulevard in Newport and immediately you are enjoying seascape views along Easton Beach to Easton Point…..but the real reason I walked the cliff path was to see the Mansions….some of […]

So we walked the famous Cliff Walk, popped into Breakers […]

We were impressed with the cleanliness of the toilets and the grill areas and enjoyed scuffing through the leaves by the Deerfield River. By the time we […]
Ok so autumn in America is the fall but whatever you call it, visiting Newport in New England autumn is a good time to visit. Newport is home to the America’s Cup and a harbour full of fancy yachts. It was the vacation destination for the gilded age rich and famous and became a vacation […]
