<p>Newport is a great town. Parents will love this tourist town much more than the Napsters unless you visit in the very dead of winter. I was surprised at the number of NAPS graduates in my daughter’s class that disliked Newport. Downtown for them is a long way (without a car) with not a lot to do. Probably the New England weather has an affect on those coming from other areas of the country. It can get very cold and raw with the wind off Narragansett Bay. On the bright side, on I-Day the NAPS graduates have friends going through the same procedure. They are not alone in that they can always see a friendly face during the day. I saw a lot of NAPS graduates getting together with theiir families after the oath of office on I-Day. A lot tougher on those going in cold and not knowing anyone.</p>
