We will be arriving at SFO on 5/21 at noon and departing on the redeye on 5/28. We are flexible and want to spend 2/3 of our stay in the city and 1/3 in wine country, Monterrey(1 afternoon maybe?) and to see the redwoods or Hearst Castle. We have visited the Biltimore Estate in NC. Are there any hot springs that are worthwhile? I dont want to get a car while we are in the city due to high parking fees. Will try and use priceline for the rooms, however dont want to stay in the city if/when the hotels have high occupancy. Ive been to wine country in South Africa, so would want a less pretentious wine area than what Im reading about Napa for the wife and will probably buy wine from wine stores. Should we skip Monterrey and go north to the redwoods/Sonoma area? We are both in our early 40's and in pretty good shape. I drive a big brown truck and we both work out a bit. This is a great forum. Any help would be apprieciated.(this msg was edited from the San Francisco section)
