Newport, the City by the Sea

January 8, 2008

hotel_building1.jpg    We’ve got some great news about Newport. We’ve now added the Newport Bay Club to the list of resorts you can stay using Playtime Points. We’ve been able to negotiate very good rates for our owners and members. There is limited space for Winter, Spring and Fall. If you are interested, please call us at 888.333.1535 . We can only rent units in 7 day blocks, but the rates are so low, just using two or three nights is less than most area hotels.

The Bay Club is located on Thames Street  in downtown Newport. Originally an old mill building it was purchased and converted into its’ current state in the early 80’s. It has shops in the first floor, a restaurant in the basement and is a short walk to all the waterfront shops and restaurants in Newport. In the winter there is an outdoor skating rink next door. If you go, don’t forget to try Salas restaurant. It is located just down the street and is where yours truly learned to cook lobster!

New Hampshire Skiing and Bonus Time

January 2, 2008

robbroshot1.jpg   I had the opportunity to take my granddaughter skiing on Friday 12/28 at Loon. The conditions were great and the new chair lift from South Mountain really cut down the lift lines. Other than a 25 minute wait for the gondola the lift lines were no longer than 10 minutes! What a pleasure it was to ski on fresh snow with short lines. AND, there was Bonus time available last week. Where was everyone that wants Bonus Time? There were 4 or 5 rooms at South Mountain each day, right up to that day all week! There will be plenty of good skiing and Bonus Time available for January, please get out there and do some skiing, or apre-skiing at least!
