Re: Stus-List Off topic-Newport boat show 2015
I have stayed several times at the Best Western in West Greenwich but only in May. The drive from there isn't bad over the Jamestown bridges - from memory +/- 35 minutes - but don't hold me to that I presume there are parking lots for the boat show with shuttle buses. -- Jonathan Indigo CC 35III SOUTHPORT CT On Aug 19, 2015, at 21:47, Bruno Lachance via CnC-List cnc-list@cnc-list.com wrote: Hi all, I'm throwing a line here and I'm looking for local knowledge of the Newport area.

Re: Stus-List Off topic-Newport boat show 2015
there are shuttles for the show. From Portsmouth, you're already on Aquidneck island (That islandis made of 3 towns. Newport, Middletown and Portsmouth) so you don't have any bridges to worry about and you may get lucky enough to be close to a shuttle. it's about 15-20 minutes ride to downtown Newport from Portsmouth. You could also try Bristol, RI. there is at least one hotel, and a bunch of BBs there. Its just over the Mt. Hope bridge from Portsmouth and is really quaint with lots of restaurants, shops, bike path... I'm not sure if it isn't too late to find places to stay for the show though. My guess is it will be pretty busy this year as the economy improves.

Re: Stus-List Off topic-Newport boat show 2015
Thanks for the replies and keep them running if you got an idea or a plan for us. We would like to stay close to town to be able to just go walk around and dont spend to much time in the car. We will keep looking, Airbnb has some good offers and the Melvill campgroud is still an option so we have more money in our pockets to spend at the show and eating out. It's nice to know that there will be some parking and shuttle buses, i will try to learn more about the location of those. I have to confess that my absolute best would be to be able to stay / camp on a boat at a dock close by. Any idea if a lister or other poeple would be willing to rent their boat for few nights. That could be more boat bucks in your Pocket, i dont know what to offer but something like around 250$ plus a bottle of something good to start talking (17-20 sept)! We are not looking for luxury, and asking no more than just a place to sleep with our sleeping bags. Obviously would leave the place as we found it (leave no trace!) But i kind of understand that most boats seem to be on a mooring and less accessible for us. thanks for the help.
