North of San Francisco
Need a suggestion for a one night stay on our way to NAPA in Dec. after we land at Oakland Airport. We will skip San Fran. since we were just there. Any nice areas along the ocean on the way to NAPA? Bed and breakfast or small quaint hotel prefered.

It's not that long a drive from Oakland to Napa, so I'm not sure what you had in mind. You could spend the evening at the Claremont Spa in Berkeley, have a spa treatment on the evening you arrive and then be off to Napa the next day. When you say Napa, do you mean Napa Valley or the city of Napa. There is a big difference. Maybe a night in Sausalito at the Alta Mira.

I agree that there is no reason to stop on your way to the wine country unless you are arriving very late or are trying to visit the coast as well as the wine country. However, the coast is not always so welcoming in December.
The North Coast has a lot of pleasant locales: Point Reyes, Stinson Beach, Bodega Bay etc... if you should choose to still go out to the coast (not recommended if late arriving flight is the issue). I know their are several B&B's in the Pt. Reyes area, but don't have any specifics. I'm sure web search could help.
If you need to stay closer to Oakland the Claremont is not a bad suggestion. Berkeley also has the French Hotel which is small in a lively community, but may not be that quiet.
