When travelling to San Fransico consider staying at an airport hotel and using the train system to get to the city.  Reasonable prices and great choices of hotels and Inns with easy access to all areas in the city without the hussel and bussel of the city.  Driving and parking in the city is tricky and expensive, this is great alternative.

Many tours are offers from the hotels such as Napa Valley/Sonoma wine tours, hot air ballooning, wine train, Alcatraz tour, city tours ........so many things to choice from!

A fabulous getaway from this area is Sedona.  A 2 hour drive north of Phoenix(easily flown to with Westjet) is a beautiful town of Sedona.  Breathtaking scenery, hiking, excursions and restaurants are all part of this area.  Driving is very easy and there are many towns within a 1 hour drive to explore.

A great day trip is a drive to the South Rim of the Grand Canyon.  We walked this rim and the Canyon is outstanding!  A perfect day that takes your breath away!!  If you are a hiker, there are many trails.  Options are to take a shuttle to the North Rim and do the walk across the canyon.  Walkers were loving this trip.

The Hyatt Calgary is a great hotel to stay at - a wonderful location.  Within walking of the Calgary Tower, the financial district and the Stephen Avenue Mall.  A vibrant city to visit or a weekend!
