Marriott - View from the Balcony

We have walked from the Ritz to many places over the years including Chinatown, the Embarcadero, Fishermen’s Wharf, and Little Italy. Like any major city, you will see homeless. The encampments are not where you would typically go. We saw some the other day on a walk to a bakery in the Tenderloin District, which is a sketchier part of town but we never felt unsafe.

Yes, but I think it was more timing that reality. There were cars on the street. The photo just caught an odd moment of very few cars.

I've heard that financial guys are afraid of sunlight.
 
Ko Olina Moana tower 4th floor "Ocean View" villa. Seriously I think they need a new category called "Resort View". Here on an Interval trade so expectation was low, but did not think the view would be non-existent. There is no ocean to be found, though I'm sure it's behind the Spa-Fitness building. Can hardly wait until next week when we switch to the "Mountain View" room.

The pic shows mostly Marriott's Timber Lodge; only the roof line in the right side of the pic is Grand Residence. Yes, the two developments are that close together and yes, the gondola that runs between them makes both places ski-in/ski-out (or perhaps more accurately, gondola-in/gondola-out) for skiing Heavenly.

Correct, as that was the "View from the Balcony" of our room at the Grand Residence - Room 3246

We requested buildings 3800 3900 or 4000…and indeed…the property as well as Newport Beach is beautiful.

I would hope a resort with zip code 92657 to live to to it!

Inside the Most Expensive ZIP Code in America

The California enclave of Newport Coast has seen homes sell for as high as $61 million—but one local real-estate pro says there are properties worth more than that.

I’m not surprised…it was the first time I ever saw a Bentley dealership…the amount of exotic cars you see driving around Newport Beach is amazing.
