Snow on the Way ?

I hear snow is on the way...a great beginning to what I hope is a "White Winter" We plan on having discounted tickets to Cranmore Mountain downhill skiing again this year.

For sure we will be running a special for Cross Country Skiing here in North Conway. I am not sure of the details yet, but I will most likely purchase a bulk number of Day tickets and be able to provide these to my guests who stay at least 2 nights like I did last year.

In the mean time, November is planning month for the 13th annual INN TO INN COOKIE TOUR. This year tour 15 inns that have been decorated up for the holidays. We hope to do a repeat win in the GingerBread House Contest. Sherry is planning on reproducing a great local landmark. We have just 4 rooms left for the Cookie tour, it is only 4 weeks away. So call us ASAP to reserve a room/ticket Package. We don't mark up the price of the tickets, just room rental and ticket price. You will have a great time (if you love cookies) and who doesn't ?

Bringing Marta to the Eastman Inn

We started our road trip from Calif. To the Eastman Inn on Sunday. The Packers Came on Saturday, we should have gotten a bigger truck. I had to leave behind the Barbeque, Picnic Table and some random tools and my 1970's JBL Century 100 Speakers that I have owned since 1974...so sad. Here is a picture of Marta in a Utah rest stop. Today, Tuesday we are spending the night in Denver.

Phoenix, Arizona

Tonight is my last night in Phoenix, tomorrow I head to California to pick up my wife and bring her and her stuff to the Eastman Inn.

This weekend, the 23-25th is actually pretty full, we still have 2 rooms left at the Eastman Inn. A beautiful King room on the first floor and the Queen room on the 3rd floor with private HALL bath. I remind people that it is a lodging room with a private bath, but it is located in the hall just outside the door. I provide clean laundered robes. The bathroom has an old fashioned claw foot tub and shower combination. Come stay at the Eastman Inn this weekend !

Lost Baggage

48 Hours in the same clothes...OK, thank you United Airlines...you still have my luggage..I would like to change my under................................

Anway..the Inn is open, the Eastman Inn has Sherry and Peggy running the Inn while I travel cross country. The Fall Colors are still beautiful, so if you want to get away from the crowds, now it the time to come to North Conway Village, view the sites, and dine at some great restaurants.

All for now !

Another Journey Begins

It is close to 4 am on Sunday Oct 18 and I am on a C and J bus to Boston Logan airport, I left the Eastman Inn a "full house" with all the rooms rented (and that's a good thing), in the capable hands of Sherry and Peggy. First stop will be Phoenix where I will spend 4 days with my brother Dan who is suffering from an aggressive form of Cancer that has spread throughout his body. I speak regularly with my other 2 brothers and 2 sisters about his deteriorating condition. We are all deeply saddened by this reminder of when our mother passed away almost 31 years ago of this same course of this rotten disease. Dan can barely speak, so I will go to his bedside and perhaps just reminiss of our childhood or read him some passages of a book I am reading.

After that I am heading to Fresno on Thursday to pick up my wife Marta. After 3 years she has found a job in the Middle East, in the United Arab Emerites. Together we shall drive cross country stopping in Denver to see Marta's son and grandchildren. then back to the Eastman Inn with all her stuff. I plan on going with her until mid December when we have the Cookie tour. After that who knows where I will end up. ....that is yet to be determined !

Link to Abu Dhabi

This is a link to a bunch of pictures of Abu Dhabi I have been studying

Enjoy, these are all city views..there is a vast desert where I have seen some beautiful pictures, yet the pics don't portray the 132 degree heat and 100 percent humidity in July and August

Night for now
