We stopped there a year ago and were rather disappointed with Newport
itself. 20 years ago it was a great stop. Today the downtown is a tourist
trap with one chain store after another and masses of tourists walking up
and down peering into the souvenir shops. I'd stay elsewhere. Take a cab
into town and take the tour of the "Cottages," though.

Newport has some great highlights. First of all there are all the tour
boats. Where else can you go sailing on a former America's cup boat or
sail alongside them? Newport is home to one of the better AKA sites (for
those kite flyers who can take a cab) -- those great winds are good for
more than sailing. erica zapp has one of the more intriguing jewlery
shops I've seen. And, yes, the mansions are definitely worth the visit.
