Oh I want to add that St. Helena is adorable, we haven't stayed there yet, but hope to in the future. It doesn't seem like you could go wrong by staying in St. Helena...if you do, be sure to his the St. Helena Olive Oil Company, it's fabulous! :)

Well, I finally rented the car and made the flight arrangements. So now, after reading lots of stuff, am thinking of changing the hotel to the Hotel Vitale (Embaracadero)or Cow Hollow Suites, which offers free parking, but other than that, doesn't sound too great to me. Or, should I just keep the rez at the St. Francis Westin?

Also, someone suggested that we rent a 'go-car'? Does anyone know anything about these cars?

I can't believe we're leaving on Sunday - I still have two hotel reservations - one at Cow Hollow Motor Inn, primarily for the parking aspect, and the other at the Westin St. Francis Union Square. Which one do you recommend we keep?
