American Odessey Part Five: Napa (Ma Na Ma Na)


 Here it is - the post you've all been waiting for - or something like that. This is part five of my travel blog posts - so get your sweet arse to the previous four if you haven't already.

Last weekend, a crowd gathered. A crowd of like-minded, well meaning individuals. Their mission? To find wineries. And taste wine. And be merry. Did we achieve said mission? Let's find out...

This post features the following stellar cast: Our gracious hosts, @alltwiedup (Charla) and @theppmonster (Tom); Pennsylvania sweetheart @dangrdafne (Sharon), our fabulous and charming designated driver (A million times thank you, Sharon!); The common law couple @jaymes805 (Jamie) and @amandakmelby (yes that's her full name); and the fabulous @norcaltwitard (Kate).




L-R: Tom, Amanda, Charla, Kate, me, Sharon, Jamie

We stayed at Charla and Tom's in Vacaville, CA. It was great that they were happy for us to take over their house, and their plumbing. I don't think too much more needs to be said about that, huh Tom?




snake jokes R us

On Saturday, we piled in the van, with Sharon at the helm, and headed to Napa. I think I'll let the photos tell the rest of the story. There's also a nice little vid at the end for your viewing pleasure. You're welcome.

Sorry Amanda I couldn't resist!


Yeah, that's right. I posted that shit. Never mind 'what goes on tour, stays on tour'....




TwipolarWife sent us a box of goodies (girls not included)




The real star of the weekend, Miss Bella Hicks




Goodbye time with my favourite couple

Not long after leaving Napa, it was time for me and Kiwi Ed to leave California for the Pacific North West. My 100 Monkeys experience.... coming soon!




Laters, baby.

For anyone wondering about the 'ma na ma na' in the heading... I'll be requiring the reply in the comments, thanks.
