GORGEOUS NEWPORT-CORONA WEEKEND WITH FRIENDS

WEEKEND IN THE WATER...AS OPPOSED TO THE COUNTRY



Lucie and Larry Luckinbill and I were invited by the fabulous hosts Emmy-winning choreographer Kevin Carlisle and his partner John Jackson to spend the weekend with them in their home at Cameo Shores in Corona Del Mar. We wanted for nothing. There were perfect drinks, perfect meals, perfect pool temperature, perfect deck sunsets--and their beautiful home.

 This Zodiac goes 28 knots and flies over the waves. We went half-way to Catalina and then turned around and zipped to Laguna! Thanks, Captain Ryan!

As an extra treat, John took us to Roger's Garden's in Corona Del Mar. Aside from being the most remarkable nursery I've ever seen, at Halloween and Christmas they sell decorations from their themed exhibits. Just amazing. Below is part of the Halloween exhibit. You can't tell how dazzling it is from these pictures. There was room after room, each with a different theme.
