Newport's own Hilton Hotel

2 weeks advance notice for a yurt at Beverly Beach for only $36 dollars, incredible. Eileen lucked out since all the other sites were booked with the next opening in October... Last year when I spent my 6 weeks in Newport for my rotation at Pacific Communities Hospital in Newport, I was gracious enough to receive a visit by them twice (with the exception of Bunza). This trip felt like some sort of mini-reunion. I have missed Newport.... well maybe not its climate.

4 people inside felt pretty spacious. Although in the middle of the night I had a nightmare that I saw a spider (*visually). I screamed and whimper. Everyone heard :(

Entryway to Osprey. Secluded yet so close to the bathroom and beachSomeday when I get a house, there can be a Yurt built so guests can stay over...

Animals don't like the macro feature. Had its antennas up to defend itself
