Napa Vacation Starts Sunday

Flying out of Greensboro Sunday morning and will land in San Francisco at noon (PST) after a short layover in Chicago. We're staying as guests of one of the wineries for 4 days and then spending 3 days in San Francisco before flying home next Saturday.

I lived in Napa for about a year and a half in 75-76 after I came back from SE Asia, before there were hundreds of wineries and before it got so commercial. We're fortunate to have some private tours and tastings at a few other wineries and will even get some private culinary lessons in one of the kitchens.

Taking a 4-hour hot air balloon ride at sunrise through the Napa Valley Monday morning which should make for some awesome pictures. Might actually shoot a few with our Panther swag on and have them published in the Roar. Done that a couple times from the Caribbean in the past.

My first vacation in over a year and I'm used to taking a couple every year. But since my dog was run over almost a year ago, his surgery and recovery now complete and all I want to do everyday is come home and see him. You'd think nothing ever happened to him now.

Excellent. I have never been to Napa but spent some time in Sonoma this year and just returned from a four-day trip to the Finger Lakes to take in lots of Riesling, Gewurz, Ices, and improving reds at the Finger Lakes.

Glad your dog has recovered and your able to get out for a vacation. Would love a report on the places you visited when you get back.

I'd have to hit Yosemite if I was that close.

Yeah, love Yosemite, but haven't been there since my little brother died in a climbing accident on El Capitan when he was 20 years old. That was in 1980 and still don't want to relive that.

do yourself a favor and do the Alcatraz tour....you'll love it

Yeas, done it a few times and find it absolutely fascinating. They do night tours now, but they're booked solid weeks in advance.

Since all of us have been to SF and 2 of us have extensive Napa experience, we're going to do the non-tourist stuff, the off-the-wall places to see... I really want to see the America's Cup catamarans- they look unbelievable... and the Cup will be won by the US in SF Bay next year.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By CRA · Posted

      You do, the guy who doesn’t appear to grasp projection.  as the entire board knows, I do in fact, take positions.  The position here I have taken is that Bryce Young is a weak bottom tier starting QB, without NFL starting QB tools, that we must move on from.

      The OP for one. Asserting that people blamed Bryce for the loss in the title of the thread. That was not the prevailing sentiment at the time this thread was created. Very much a minority thing, I don’t remember but maybe one person if that, putting it on Bryce as the main reason. Troll thread. Did a good job too. Look at the pages.  Someone counting up the draft picks as 10 on offense and 10 on defense or whatever the number was, today or yesterday - of which the offensive ones were heavily 1s and 2s and the defensive picks were heavily day 3 and declaring that proof that the offense wasn’t favored like people claim. The obvious neglect we watched for two years. I spent time refuting that bullshit because someone needed to.  People saying we are bad horrible people and hate poor lil Bryce for no reason, as if it is a personal thing. Constantly.   Along the same lines is people saying we non Bryce fans would rather lose than have him play well and the team wins. That we are mad when the team wins   Point illustrated.
