MichelleY: If the "play" was running true to form, the characters wouldn't be drinking cocktails....Mr. Hearst didn't allow alcohol in his castle, in fact, his staff confiscated any they found in guest's suitcases!

DEFINITELY do Hearst Castle! The drive down from Big Sur is GORGEOUS and it's a must-do as far as I'm concerned.

Dear CoCo:<BR>We didn't hear about the dry policy,(the docents had fake, plastic drinks) But we did hear about the no sex between unmarried couples policy, which is funny considering WRH lived at the castle with his mistress!!
