It was formerly the Presidential Waterbed Hotel. The hotel is run by Kathy Brassill-Doucet and the hotel was in her family although in a different incarnation. You can come here to do anything or be anyone, maybe you want to feel what it was like back as an emperor in Roman times, or get in touch with your inner biker in the Motorcycle Room? Maybe you have dreams of being an Italian Duke, well there is a room for winemakers with detailed wine barrels in the walls, A Dragon Room (currently being renovated but perfect for Harry Potter fans) and for the lovers of romance novels there a Victorian suite that is primed for bodice ripping! Maybe you want to head back to the seventies and stay in your very own Love Shack complete with psychedelic decor and watch old episodes of Fantasy Island. Adventure Suites in North Conway NH is a themed hotel with many different themes. So where can you go when you want to escape the ordinary? There is a place where you can take part in any adventure that you desire. You have to pay the price for the escape. I remember that on Fantasy island, every fantasy had a cost.

Although the 2020 movie seems like a little bit of a darker twist and is more horror than fantasy (and I did see it) and it was not very much of either (currently 8% on Rotten Tomatoes.) But maybe that’s just a sign of the times and a steeper price we face now for fantasy. Now a new generation will get the chance to experience that seventies feeling of escaping their own life into something new, with the release of Fantasy Island. I recognized Abe Vigoda, not from Barney Miller or The Godfather but from Fantasy Island and The Love Boat. When I realized that the actors were also the people on the Love Boat coming on the show, I knew it must be made up.
If you had enough money you could live out your dreams and become someone else. I remember being young enough not to know if it was really real or fake. There was something about being a young kid and seeing there was a place where your fantasy could come true. When I got a little older, we watched the Love Boat and Fantasy Island on Saturday nights.
Reading was a great alternative because you could get the chance to be someone else.īut on the weekend, Saturday nights were special, we would have a family dinner, and sometimes we would go out to eat mostly at an Italian restaurant in town. We would listen to stories read on the radio as we slowly fell asleep imagining ourselves as the characters. This was before cable and remotes made it to our house.ĭuring the week, we would usually read a little every night before bed and my dad would read to me, or sometimes we would listen to the radio, to a program where a narrator would read fiction, the precursor to spoken word. Changing the channel was an act of power and we didn’t have control of the TV. Back then there was no on demand, what was on was what we watched.

I remember when I was young and growing up in the seventies, we watched TV mostly with the family.
