This new Californian cruise takes you from San Francisco to Napa
Jan 30, 2023, 11:06 AMNot quite walking distance from town, but handy to Home Depot! I guess you could do some nice stops around the bay and further up the Sacramento River. Napa wine train would make a good shore excursion.

Singapore Airlines’ new First Class lounge, The Private Room at Changi
May 16, 2022, 03:07 AMI really hope they do something about the dimming lighting in the first lounge. It's like a football stadium. Not pleasant waiting for a flight at 2 in the morning under those conditions.
