It's funny this thread came up today as I was trying to talk friends into going to Newport yesterday and today I mentioned it to my SIL. Hopefully in the fall we can find an open weekend to go.

When were you thinking about going (Fall 2006)
Which timeshare or hotel do you plan to stay at

FF is sometimes available but I had wanted to do a bed and breakfast. If I am able to get a 2 bedroom then I might do a timeshare. Timing is tight as I will be in Nola in OCT.

I have been in Newport about 4 times. Each time we spent the entire day into night while traveling through. I allmost booked a few nights there and then got a Cape cod week as an exchange.
