My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living.
Imagine what Anais Nin could have done if she had an iphone!
Actually, as ridiculous as that sounds, that was exactly what I was thinking this morning as I dove enthusiastically into all this amazing new technology at my fingertips thanks to a lengthy but worthwhile wait at the apple store on Friday. Yes, I realize that I shouldn't be standing on line for a cell phone when I have about 6 million other things to do, but I honestly couldn't help myself. And so, borrowing from another of Ms. Nin's quotes that good things happen to those who hustle, I'm jumping off.
Conceived over several hundred night's worth of griping over good wine and five minutes on the typepad website, Napalicious seeks to supply real information about a fairytale destination that our merry band of contributors is lucky enough to call home.
In a nutshell:
We live in the Napa Valley and love the fact that we are privy to some pretty good living.
We have a weakness for the finer things in life (which doesn't necessarily always mean the most expensive).
We quaff some good stuff but we like nothing more than a lead on a great bargain bottle of wine.
We’re into good food but don't require white tablecloths -- in fact nothing thrills us more than tomatoes plucked by small sticky hands from our own gardens.
We are pretty firmly self-proclaimed hotel snobs, but believe that value is always a factor when it comes to quality living.
So, Napalicious is our attempt to share collective knowledge regarding all the good stuff here in the valley, and although we might not give up every last detail on where to snag the only parking space in Calistoga on the 4th of July, we pledge to do our best to deliver with good humor and in a timely fashion solid insider notes and advice on uncovering the hidden opportunities that abound here, and that we genuinely hope you will decide to explore.
Why? Because if it's really Napalicious, it's just not nice not to share it!
