Shangri-La Springs Resort in Bonita Springs, Florida

Great rate for Napa Valley/Sonoma. Our favorite hotel in the area, the Flamingo Resort...a perfectly preserved 1950's "Vegas" style retro resort...has a $99 weekday rate that includes tickets to the Sonoma County Fair. Use the promo code "GRAPE" when making reservations: http://tinyurl.com/274qvn5 .

One of our best trips was when the hotel gave away our accessible room and had no choice except to upgrade us to the Presidential Suite. It's another trip to the Big Apple, today on The World on Wheels: http://tinyurl.com/2unyw8o
