Having been to SF a whopping 2 times and Napa only once, I am far from being an expert on anything. The only thing I might add to the San Fran part of the trip is a walk thru the Redwood forests of Muir Woods. If memory serves me correctly, it's about 30 minutes north of the Golden Gate Bridge. https://www.nps.gov/muwo/index.htm As for Napa Valley, I attended one of my nieces destination wedding there about 10 years ago. At the time, I was primarily a beer drinker and drank wine maybe twice a year - Thanksgiving and Easter dinners. Even then, it was whatever the cheapest wine I could find for under $5. Well, after spending 5 days in Napa, I discovered I really like wine. I also really, really like expensive wine. Of course, every winery I went to was better than the one before it so take my advice with a grain of salt. But there is one place, a small family owned place off the beaten path that really sticks out i my mind. Laird Winery. Great wine, very knowledgeable and friendly, down to earth staff. The kind of people you want to hang out with all day long. I love everything I tasted there & then even offered me a complimentary glass of wine afterwards. I've recommended it to a few other people and nobody has been disappointed. At least, not that I know of. lol https://lairdfamilyestate.com/ Muir Woods is definitely on the list. We plan to stop there in the morning on the drive back to SF from Napa, check out the Marin Headlands, and then maybe have lunch in Sausalito before crossing the Golden Gate Bridge. Micheline's only requirement for this trip is that we see Redwoods. Thanks for the Laird Winery suggestion. Sounds like the kind of place that we would really like. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They said they are shipping the crystal block. Could take 3 weeks depending on availability. I just emailed them yesterday since I missed 140 and 210. Sounds like I shouldn't hold my breath waiting for a reply and just call them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my lifetime pass several years ago at Marin Headlands. For those that don’t know, they will get you, and another three with you, into the National Parks without paying the entrance fees. They cost $80 now for a senior lifetime pass, but well worth it if you visit many parks. I think they were only $10 when I bought mine. It has paid for itself many times over. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HBE4 Posted January 31, 2023 #84509 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Finally, snow. I guess the snow gods heard me yesterday. Just a dusting but it's the first measurable snow so far this year. Nothing stuck to pavement so no chance to use the snowblower. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you find out your cabin number (or try the hack to find out #) let me know and I should be able to tell you if good one. Thanks Deb. I am glad I saw this. I am still far behind. It's been post so many times I should know how it works but it's been so long since I booked a guarantee I didn't pay close attention. How do you do the hack and how far out do you guess I will be assigned.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ocean Boy Posted January 31, 2023 #84520 Share Posted January 31, 2023 I just came down to my cabin to get something and a guy a few cabins down is telling the steward, who we share, that he spilled coffee on his bed. I felt like saying why didn't you get your sorry a$$ out of bed to drink your coffee. That is not the kind of extra work a steward needs. 🙄 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Ozark_Kid Posted January 31, 2023 #84521 Share Posted January 31, 2023 We are iced in good right now and we are supposed to get hit again this afternoon! The Weather Channel showed pics of Arkansas just across the river from Memphis and it looked like trucks lined up forever and not moving. Last night my SIL was supposed to go to work at 9am but now closed. They finally figured out noone is going to see their PT today. My daughter does OT at the nursing home. She still had to understandably go in. Most everything else is closed. I would say about 85% of the times what hits us hits the NE a day or two later. You might check the forecast and get prepared. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ocean Boy Posted January 31, 2023 #84522 Share Posted January 31, 2023 One little annoyance. Last night I ordered a drink and it comes back and the bartender says I had no more vouchers so I got charged. I know I had one more as I keep track by the amount of tip money I have left in my pocket. I am pretty sure during one of their busy times when he had a bunch of seapasses mine got swiped twice. However, I didn't want to make a big deal about it. I'm pretty sure if I could see the time stamps there would be two drinks bought very close together. 😏 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your cabin is the last numbers after the dash. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
