"Since 1975, I have traveled to almost every state in the United States, London, France, Germany, China, Japan, seven countries in Central and South America, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Puerto Rico. I've stayed at many 5-star hotels, many of the world's best resorts, and nearly every brand name hotel and motel in America. Of all my travels, one place, the Seaward Inn in Rockport, MA really touched my heart and brought a huge smile to my face. Its charm, right out of a wonderful book. Its owner, Nancy, and her personable staff, like being with happy family.  I stayed there only one night, one morning, yet I felt renewed as if I had been there a month. It sits overlooking the Atlantic Ocean enjoying both magnificent sunrises and sunsets. I loved the furniture and cottage like decorations.   My friend and I had just crossed America (4,471 miles) on motorcycles for a charity, Chooseliving.org http://www.jimmaclaren.com/  to raise$100,000. Once we came to our final stop, Rockport, we picked one place for our last night of our journey.   My finger scrolled over a dozen choices from my GPS, but my eyes stopped on the Seaward Inn. Something felt right and magical about this place. When we arrived at the Inn, we knew it was meant to be...so beautiful, so simple, so 1940s (I thought of the movie, Summer of 42). The next day, Doug and I were to leap off the pier across from the famous, Motif #1, to complete our Pacific to Atlantic mainland crossing. The Inn owner, Nancy, and her cousin, Alison, led us to our jumppoint atnoon on Saturday. This is what I'm talking about...a magical, warm and friendly place.  Real loving people who care and who, for 20 minutes, became our family and cheering fan club.  What an ending.  To the Seaward Inn, its beautiful people, and its majestic setting, thank you. I enjoyed every minute of my stay. Everything was just outstanding."
