Honeymooning in Napa & Lake Tahoe

With our wedding less than 3 months away (how did that happen?), we've locked in our honeymoon plans - the California wine country and Lake Tahoe. We'll split our time equally between the two, and while we're staying in Napa, we'll surely visit Sonoma as well.

Our earlier plans were to visit Napa/Sonoma and then explore more of the western coast--hitting the Redwood National Park, Portland and Seattle, but after much contemplation, I finally convinced myself that it was simply too much traveling for what is supposed to be a very relaxing vacation. That's a hallmark of my vacation planning style--trying to do to much and going through several rounds of paring back. Even then, it's too much sometimes.

This go around our three primary itinerary items are drinking great wine, eating delicious food and getting plenty of sleep. The rest of our time we'll take day by day although I am already looking at kayaking options in both places. Come on; you didn't really think the planner in me would completely let go, did you?
