Advice on traveling to Edge Esmerelda in Healdsburg, CA.
A friend of mine is going to be attending a multi-day event in Healdsburg, CA. in June.

Weekend in San Francisco, pandemic style?
I’m going to be in San Francisco for a weekend with my sister and her wife.

Confusingly expensive hotels in San Francisco
So after a lifetime of wanting to visit the US, I've been invited to a conference in Pasadena in September, and so am tagging on a week of holiday at the end.
