Heading up to the Napa Valley? Before you map out which wineries to hit, you should first decide where you're going to sleep at night. Although Napa can be an expensive trip if you aren't watching your budget, you can also have a great time without breaking the bank. The heat of the Summer brings the crowds to both the Napa and Sonoma valleys, but head out a few months later in the Fall, and you not only get the benefit of fewer cars on the road, but you'll get to check out the changing grapevine leaves which make for picture-perfect mementos.
I've got five hotel suggestions that will keep you from going over your vacation budget so you can enjoy the valley, but will still have you wishing that you didn't have to leave your room.
AVIA: A brand new luxury hotel in the middle of downtown Napa, you'll be close to shopping, wineries, and the best restaurants the valley has to offer, all in a chic and modern complex. Room rates start at $180.
Just because we're in the middle of an "economic downturn" doesn't mean you have to stop doing what you love — just tighten the belt and learn how to hop continents with a more conservative budget. If you're needing some ideas on how to travel on the cheap, there's a slew of new and soon-to-be-released titles over at Amazon (one of my favorite places to shop online) that cover the gauntlet on budget travel. Learn how to keep your family trip to Disneyland from breaking the bank, and tips on making your trip to South America spiritually, mentally, and financially fulfilling.
