danasgoodstuff Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 My wife won us a trip to the Newport jazz fest (I think she thought they meant Newport, OR but it's RI) this weekend. Airfare, tickets to the fest and Hotel included, ground transport, food, etc. not (so with tax on the whole thing it;s gonna be expensive in the end). If anyone is familar with Newport and can offer any advice on getting to and from theairport, venue, places to eat, etc. I'd appreciate it. Thanks muchly. Quote
.:.impossible Posted August 11, 2005 Report Posted August 11, 2005 Are you staying in Newport? From the airport, you are going to take 95S to Rt 4S. Take the exit for 138E. This takes you across Narragansett Bay. Two bridges and the second one will cost you $2. This takes you into Newport. Let me know where you are staying in Newport and I'll do my best to remember. I learned the roads pretty well, thanks to dave9199's beautiful gift - an atlas. I had no idea how much that thing would come in handy. Once I know where you are staying, it will be easy to give you directions to the park (venue) as well. You have to stop into the Cooke House for a Dark and Stormy while in Newport, that much is a given. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted August 11, 2005 Author Report Posted August 11, 2005 Impossible: Thanks, but acvtually we were thinking of not renting a car and taking taxis or whatever - is $20/person from the airport to downtown reasonable? Dana Quote
