Possibly another question that needs answering…

Last night we stayed in the super romantic TravelLodge in Newberg, OR.

Pure luxury

In particular, the view from our room was breathtaking:

Jealous?

But, for $48, it was actually pretty awesome.  We will be doing a complete comparison of Hotel Healdsburg, the Redding, CA Red Lion Inn, the Newberg, OR Travelodge and the East Portland Sheraton Four Points (tonight’s home) in posts to come.  I think the Travelodge may be the front runner…

We did some Oregon wine tasting today and were eager to compare it to Sonoma/Napa.  The verdict… kind of a rip-off.  $15 tasting fees for 3-4 very small tastes seems to be the norm and they don’t refund the fees if you buy wine.  Also, very new, big, fancy wineries–kind of felt like being at disneyland rather than wine country.

Also, can someone please explain this?

You can't make this up

We were just driving by, why is it our responsibility???
