Hotel Review: Westin Verasa Napa
Westin Verasa Initial Impressions On arrival at the Westin Verasa in Napa, Murph and I both remarked on the similarity of the hotels’ exterior to properties we’ve stayed at in various ski resorts – not what we’d expected on arrival in California wine country.

Hotel Review: Radisson SAS Rome
I like Radisson SAS hotels. Maybe it’s the clean, sparse Scandinavian styling – almost as far away from my cluttered home as you could imagine. But, we didn’t plan to stay at the Radisson in Rome. It sort of happened by accident. We left Lucca, having just spent a fun but busy week with family, Read the Rest…
