We did a mini-vacation at the Marriott Villas at Newport Beach, actually between Newport and Laguna Beach, in mid-July. The weather was just like you see it in the lower picture of Paul on the Newport pier, with marine clouds poking their way a couple of miles inland almost all the time. Part of the deal was to listen to a timeshare sales pitch, and we're still considering getting one, but cheaper on the secondary market. All in all the place was quite impressive. The suites were in a identical layout to the Marbella suites we stayed at when we went to Spain for a current generation reunion a couple of years ago.
