.....to Rhode Island? Norton was close by when we lived in Attleboro for a few years. Then we got sucked right backed to RI! It's a unique place, that's for sure.

Heading down to WDW next week with a friend from Creeeaaanstin High School East days. She and I were lucky enough to be at CHSE during the high hair 80's!

We're going just the two of us-no kids, no husbands-just the girls!

[Denise W]

Thanks, I've only ever seen one person on here from Barrington, Joan S.

My husband grew up in Barrington, I moved here from Connecticut in tenth grade, and met him in high school. When we got married, we bought a house here and haven't moved yet.

I have been to one 4th of July parade (I think it was in 1984 or 1984, we rode bikes there).

I've been to Block Island twice to visit my sister, who rents a house there for a week every summer. I think we are going to go see her this year for a day or two.

Sure do, that's my house.

Monte Cristo, is that taken at or near Hazard's Beach?

That's the Inn at Castle Hill. I think Hazard Beach is on the other side of Newport.

That can be your house if I can have the motor yacht!

I really took the pic for the 12m. Beautiful boats.

Not then...but not long after. We will be there May 4th thru May 9th at BCV and were just informed that the slide at SAB will be closed for refurb starting the 5th

Enjoy your trip!

Hah hah, yes, it is in fact where all the Canucks (of French-Canadian descent, myself included) live that say 'side by each', 'do my stores', 'throw the baby down the stairs, his clothes..'. It's like a being in Montreal.

Items of note here are;

• One the best high school hockey teams in the U.S., Mount Saint Charles. (our state champs for the last 25 years!).
• Ye' Olde English Fish & Chips (wow are they good)
• Chans Restaurant (good restaurant, great Jazz spot)

I lived in Exeter while in college as well.

We've been 150 pt. BCV members for about 3 weeks after returning from WDW in April. I can't wait to go back, Jan. 11-16, 2003!!!!

Regards,
John

I MY GOSH!!! I allmost fell off my chair LOL!! I grew up in Woonsocket. I move away after college 20 years ago. You've just taken me down memory lane. I to am a Canuck. My Mom spoke French at home when I was young. Didn't play for the Mount, played against them. We didn't win
We just joined DVC in November @ AKV I have never been so happy to write a check that big!!

Congrats on your recent purchase...you'll love it!

SAB will be open only the slide will be closed, so we'll make the best of it. They did say there would be a shuttle over to BWV if people wanted to use that slide but I can't see us doing that. We arrive on the 4th (day before the refurb starts) so our kids will just have to use the slide all afternoon and evening until they turn into human prunes!

That sounds like a good plan! I am trying to decide if we should do a water park or not....This will be our first stay at BWV so we will see how the pool is.

Any RIers heading down to WDW soon??

Hi We just bought SSR on our last trip to WDW. Got our big blue box last week and read every word. Booked our first trip for 09 and planning a second.
I see in the magazine we are 1200 strong in RI. Now it's 1201.

Remember to go from Cumberland to the beach you have to leave early in the morning, fill the gas tank. and pack a lunch.
( for you non-Rhodeislanders its 32 miles from one end of the state to the other ) No school Foster - Gloster

Congratulations on your purchase.....is your first trip at SSR?? It's a great resort!

You forgot to mention that you have to stop for Del's or Allie's Doughnuts on the way to the beach!
