Your weekend planner: The Wall Street Journal has a roundup of spring wine events and yes, most of them happen out here (California, Oregon, Washington, Vancouver). And even though our blog is obsessed with the West, it's interesting to read about other up-and-coming areas (Georgia, who knew?)

Deals, deals, deals: National Geographic Traveler's blog writes about late-season skiing in Jackson Hole; you can also scroll down to see all of their Western coverage. This is a terrific stockpile of travel ideas.

Feel good about where you live: The international travel blog World Hum has a list of the seven best cities to drink coffee. After scrolling through Amsterdam, Buenos Aires, and Wellington, New Zealand, I was getting a tad anxious that there would be no American representation at all. But there, at the end, was Seattle—and justice.

The post singles out Fremont and Ballard as neighborhoods where you can sip like a local. Want a second opionion? Here are Sunset's Western coffee picks.

News at Disney: If you're wondering why you're smelling french fries on the rides at Disneyland, it's because the park has made a commitment to cut emissions by 50% over the next few years—and that includes using biodiesel (which apparently smells like french fries when burned) to power many of the rides.

And just because the blogosphere can't seem to get enough of the Twilight saga, here's a sighting of Edward (for all of you who don't have teenage girls at home—that's the hero of Stephanie Meyers vampire love story, set it our very own Forks, Washington) in a Vancouver pub.

Good for Disney. But sounds like it might make you hungry.
