WHERE TO STAY: NAPA VALLEY, CALIFORNIA

A good friend of mine who has lived in different parts of Northern California for years says there's one place and one place only where you should stay when visiting Napa Valley: Hotel Yountville. The recently renovated property gets it right in so many ways, with a great mix of aesthetics and comfort!

One of the most pleasing aspects of this hotel property is its rooms. (Try not to drool as you look!) The rooms are spacious, impeccably clean and are furnished in a modern/elegant style. While they are not inexpensive, they are not too pricey either when you compare to other properties right in Yountville.

The lobby is very soothing, and the outdoor fireplace lounge and pool are almost movie-set perfect!

In addition, Hotel Yountville made Conde Nast Traveler Magazine's 2011 The Hot List as a 'WINE COUNTRY WINNER.'

Trust me Jet Setters...this is one of my Top Picks in Napa Valley!

And remember, Jet Set Smart is here to help you book all of your travels from Yountville to Napa to Sonoma and beyond!

VANCOUVER ANNIVERSARY DEAL

About two weeks ago, I wrote a post about traveling to the Pacific Northwest. Click here if you didn't read it. Well someone just let me know about a great promotion for hotels and activities in Vancouver, and the deal runs out September 30th!

Basically, Vancouver is celebrating its 125th anniversary this year, and so they are running a special on hotels. Click here for a direct link. And that's not all! In addition, when you book through this link, you also get a $125 voucher to use towards activities in Vancouver. You have to take the voucher to the visitor's center and buy tickets through them, but from what I've heard, it's a very easy and simple process! You can use that voucher for such things as going to the top of Grouse Mountain, getting on the Capilano Suspension Bridge, and a lot more! It's like getting $125 for free...now that's the JET SET SMART way to travel! Again, the only thing is that you must book by September 30th to get this deal. Happy Travels!
