Was 100% sure we were doing this on our trip to California, but now I am second guessing myself because of a few 'skip it" folks.
What do you think? We will be going in December. Are there Christmas lights set up, extra pretty? We are DH, DS20, DD17, DD9, and me. We are only spending 1 night there, and heading to Monterey for 1 night.
The trip goes something like this:
dec.15-18 St. Regis Dana Point-visiting family etc.
dec.18-19 PCH-many stops, do the last tour at the Castle
dec.19-20 Monterey-Think I am jamming too much stuff here but would like to do aquarium, cannery row, Carmel, 17 mile drive, tide pools, brunch on the 20th at Pebble beach.
Should I forget about the Castle entirely?
dec.20-23 Beverly Hills Raffles Hotel. We definately need 3 days here.
Staying at the Portola Plaza in Monterey. Cambria if we go not sure of the hotel. Trip advisors scares me in that area. How far is the Ventanna Inn and Spa from Hearst Castle?
That's it.
Thanks for any information you can share.
