10/21 What's a good weekend vacation for me and my wife for <$350 in driving
distance of the East Bay? I'm looking for specific hotel/resort
recommendations, e.g. Orr Hot Springs.
-- ulysses
\_ Napa
\_ Cross Country skiing at Royal Gorge
\_ why do people get married so young? didn't you just graduate?
\_ Are you thinking of somebody else maybe? I'm probably older than
you. -- ulysses
\_ I'm 50. How old are YOU?
\_ Pull trou, troll.
\_ Again, have you been canyoning up in Quincy? It may be cold
\_ Cross Country skiing at Royal Gorge
you. -- ulysses
right now, but it's beautiful and nearly free.
\_ Not in many years. Thank you for the suggestion. It will have to
wait for summer, I think, though. My wife is not exactly the
outdoorsy sort. <Wife says: What do you mean no room service?!>
\_ BDG, where are you!?
\_ umm... what about the obvious? up in Napa County... Calistoga
Hot Springs... or any of the resort/spas up there. You can also
go shopping a bit south of there. Specific recommendations?
Sonoma Mission Inn & Spa(not in Calistoga) is very close to the
limit of your budget. You could go for Sat night, and buy a nice
spa package or two, spend a day wine tasting, etc. Or the
Calistoga places can be a bit cheaper than SMI.
\_ Lavender Hill in Calistoga is excellent and not too pricey....
\_ Bed and breakfast places up the coast on highway 1 in medicino
are all also really nice and within your range --sky
\_ I know there are good ones but I've had mixed experiences with
B&Bs. Can you name one you'd recommend?
\_ Sorry I can't remember the names of the ones I stayed at.
I usually just drive around and pick one. Another suggestion,
closer to home, is Casa Madrona over in Sausalito.
Its a totally painless weekend getaway.
