Going in style

We have a non-stop flight to Santa Rosa, California, on Alaska Airlines. This should be a treat, compared to flying into Oakland International, then driving 60 white-knuckle miles up to the Napa Valley like we usually do. 
If the aviation gods are favorable, the flight will plunk us down in the early evening, about a 20 mile scenic drive from Dr.Wilkinson's in Calistoga, at the north end of the valley.  Fire up the mud bath!
