I'm reporting from Newport Beach, CA. Jeanne brought her laptop and figured out how to log on here. So..... although I can't put in pictures, I'll try to keep up with questions, etc.
First of all, we are having a ball. House we are renting ... thanks to a fellow DISER here who referred us to it ... is absolutely perfect. Clean, has everything you can think of in it, is soooo close to beach and bay and good restaurants. We love everything about it. Only negative is the ocean beach. Beach is wonderful but we are not crazy about the drop off in the ocean. Our only other CA beach experience was Huntington Beach and that had a wonderful beach. Here the actual beach is long and beautiful but then it drops off steeply and after a few feet of wet sand, goes right into the ocean which also drops off steeply. Wherein Huntington Beach you can walk and walk before you are up to your waist. So I think next year when Lily is more interested in playing in the waves, we'll have to look for a house in Huntington Beach. Anybody has any referrals, please let me know. The location here in the Newport Beach house is unbelievable. Car won't be moved for the whole week. You can walk to everything!!! And the ferry over to the island is so much fun.
right???
