My husband and I will check out of Newport Coast on March 25 and have four nights and days before we fly to Phoenix out of Santa Ana/John Wayne of Wednesday, March 29. He's never been to Santa Barbara and I've not been there in over 30 years (where does the time go?). We are renting a car and love to explore. I've got points with Hyatt, Marriott and American Express so we may use them for lodging. So do you have suggestions for where to stay, e.g. should we base in SB for 4 nights, or spend 2 nights there and 2 nights further north towards Pismo Beach/San Luis Obispo/Paso Robles? He drinks beer. I'm a wine snob. He will want to watch some of the NCAA Final Four games (it could be in a bar/restaurant).
Also, suggestions on what to see and do? Should we head to Hearst Castle (again, I saw it over 30 years ago). We love quaint, charming, non-chain restaurants and things to see and do. Your advice is valued. Thanks!
