Absolutely book the direct flights. We’ve flown a ton with infants and toddlers, the worst feeling in the world is being on a terrible flight (kids acting up) and knowing you have to get off the plane and do it all over again shortly after. The shortest total travel time is always the best solution.

Now another thing to plan for is when the two parking garages are full (short and long term) and the only option left is the economy garage. You really need to look up online if the parking is full before you drive to the airport, so that you can add another 30 minutes to your planning.

If you know you’re flying out >24 hours in advance, the key is to pre book parking online. You’re guaranteed a spot even if the lot is full. Has saved me numerous times from having to make the trek to the economy garage

I just checked out the website and honestly that is about as far you can get from what we enjoy. That sounds like a miserable waste of 2-3 hours for us. Different strokes for different folks I guess

Apologies, I do believe they have the traditional chain restaurants there as well along with a super sized Diet Coke

The problem I have with Detroit is the rental car situation. You have to get on a bus to get to the lot and it feels like it takes a while. Other than that, it’s a great airport.

All of the BnB's in downtown Napa are fantastic. We stayed at the McClelland house and absolutely loved it. They do "happy hour" every night with wine and cheese and the owner of the house stops by and chats. They do breakfast every morning which is great, and we had a couple early days so they chef even came in early just to fix us breakfast. They're extremely accommodating and want to make your stay the best as possible. I believe there are a total of 5 rooms in the house. The owner told us Dave Chappelle stays there when he's in the area and rents the whole house out.

2 tickets for Dave Chappelle this Friday in smoothie king center. Asking $200 each which is what I paid. Section 114 row 17

Nice little mom and pop business. You can reserve your time on the website. I've used them for airport trips, date nights, etc. Highly recommend and they drive you in a nice, new clean Expedition

Here is my recommendation, in order of preference:

1. Colgin (Ann Colgin - from Waco, Texas)
2. Peter Michael (Sir Peter Michael)
3. Fantesca (Heidi Barrett is their winemaker who made the iconic wine for years at Screaming Eagle)
4. Opus One (owned by Mondavi and Baron Philippine de Rothschild)
5. Darioush (did wine and olive oil tasting)
6. Chappellet
7. Quintessa
8. Far Niente (also owns Nickel & Nickel)
9. Nickel & Nickel (also owns Far Niente)
10. Joseph Phelps
11. Silver Oak
12. Schramsberg (mainly sparkling wine (not my favorite), but JD Davies is a good cabernet)

Had never heard of Colgin until I read your post. Looked into it and wow, rave reviews on their wines. We're going to Napa in August and booked a tasting at Colgin. Price is ridiculous but we'll probably never go again so worth the experience and tasting. Will report back after how it goes.

Total shot in the dark here, but going to Madrid in a couple weeks and would love to play a round of golf while there. I’ve tried to book a public course there online, but even those seem to require some kind of local login requirement. Has anyone here ever played over there, or have any ideas or connections I can reach out to and try to secure a tee time?
