We stayed 4 nights and we both had a blast...and we we did all the things you mentioned and saved loads of cash. We stayed at The Palazzo (got an awesome rate since it was off season), ate at 2 nice restaurants and splurged and saw 2 shows (LOVE and Jersey Boys. The rest of the time, we lounged at The Palazzo and Venetian pools. What we loved about it is that since we both had been there before, we had no qualms about parking it on our butts by the pool. We debated about a Cali mini-moon, but then we'd feel like we HAD to do stuff. It was SO nice being able to relax after such a busy weekend. AND! we did our whole vegas mini-moon (drinks, dinner, shows, flight, room, etc) for under $2k. we had both been to Vegas alraedy and decided to go there anyway for our mini-moon.

But, Vegas is such a food mecca lately, it's totally worth it. We actually eloped there and spent the whole weekend eating at great places and seeing Cirque shows. Yay! We stayed at the Bellagio and it was fantastic. I got a great deal on it online. I can't believe that was 5 years ago today! OMG. Anyway, make sure when you go to Napa that you also try Cyrus in Healdsburg. It's very very very close to FL and they have great cocktails!

Sounds like you've done some of Catalina. I think Napa would allow you some good down time and quality time together. Choose something that you might not normally think to do again, that'll make your mini-moon all the more special! Vegas you will definately get the opportunity to do again.

(we are in the same boat..and considering wine country as well). however, napa is my least favorite. it's overrun with tourists and wineries that make you feel like cattle...we prefer russian river. you can stay in healdsburg if you want to do some shopping and eat some AWESOME food...or if you prefer romantic nights, we LOVE to stay at pearlessence inn. you can read my review about it here: http://www.yelp.com/biz/pearlessence-vineyard-inn-sebastopol#hrid:blVUt10ao99n4ddmSMkD9g a lot of the tastings are free along russian river and oh so personal. there is also fun activities like horseback riding, conoe trips, and hot air balloon rides. aahhh. http://www.wineroad.com/ happy-mooning! i heart wine country…and i think it’s surprisingly affordable.
