White House Inn & Spa, Napa, California (review and pictures of this great new hotel)

I only stay here when I have to, like this trip when we are at a meeting being held all week here. The hotel feels run d…

They say the happiest holiday destination of all is the Caribbean – and almost all say that relaxation is the main goal of any beak away. I am lucky to travel a lot for my Tips For Travellers blog and video channel, but there is a real difference between trips that I see as “work” and trips that are for “holiday”.
