For me Chicago is one of the best city break destinations in the USA. It really does have it all. Stunning museums and galleries, downtown skyscrapers, lots of live music and comedy, shops bars and restaurants. It's also the perfect city break spot for a family holiday - Lincoln Zoo, Play in the Park and catching a baseball game at the famous Wrigley Field are all great family fun activities.

My best experience was a trip to The Grand Canyon which is one of the Seven Wonders of the World. It is best combined with a holiday to Las Vegas. Nature’s most incredible creation alongside one of man’s most exciting cities. I would recommend a 5-7 day trip to Las Vegas and taking a couple of days out in the middle to witness this phenomenon of nature before returning to soak up the manmade wonders of Las Vegas famous strip.

Alaska is one of the most extraordinary regions in the United States and the best way to experience it at its fullest is with a cruise. You can sail from Vancouver, sunbathing on deck and enjoying the amazing sight of glaziers passing by all at the same time. The cruise takes in the ports of Ketchikan, Juneau and Skagway along the way and finishes up in Seattle, tech capital of the world. Best time to visit is during the summer months of June, July and August.

San Francisco is diverse and picturesque, with a compact downtown bursting with attractions and each distinct area boasting its own appeal. Union Square is a great option to stay with many restaurants, shops and tourist attractions. Fisherman’s Wharf is ideal for families while the regenerated Embarcadero is a hip neighbourhood on the bay. The Financial District is central and close to famous Chinatown. Take the hop-on hop-off bus tour to explore the city from Golden Gate Park over to Sausalito and Muir Woods. Be sure to pre-book the famous Alcatraz tour as it sell out quickly or join a tour to the nearby winelands or spectacular Yosemite National Park.

I first visited 'Music City' Nashville 15 years ago and having been back a few times over the last couple of years I cannot believe how much it has changed! I love all the music history to be found in Nashville, the lively nightlife and the historical sites. There is lots of new development in Nashville as it is a real up and coming destination but all the development harks back to the city's history with lots of speakeasy bars and honky tonks to keep the original look and feel of the city.

I love Miami, also known as The Magic City. It is a chic, cosmopolitan city comprising boutiques, art déco architecture, trendy restaurants and a thriving nightlife scene. A visit to Little Havana is a must see with its vibrant murals and Walkway of the stars. Hire a bicycle and feel the wind in your hair along the glamorous beachfront. I would suggest combining Miami with a read trip to the beautiful town of Key West. You can rent a can Miami and drive down the famous sky highway that will bring out to Florida's famous Keys.

The golden state of California, where I was lucky to grow up, is an incredible destination! Best time to visit would be May and October. May when the temperature is mild and the flowers are at their best. October is best to experience the amazing Sunsets.

I would suggest first flying into San Francisco, spending a few days in this awesome and walkable city, then drive up to Northern California to get a taste for the breathtaking National Parks - such as Yosemite, just a couple hours east of San Francisco. Then you could continue your trip back south, driving down the California coastline which boasts stunning scenery and some of the best beach communities in the world. Top things to do would be drop into Alcatraz, visit a winery on the central coast, and call into the original Disney and Universal Studios in LA.

Boston is one of America’s great historical cities, famous for the Tea Party that began the war of Independence, but it’s much more. it's a city filled with small winding streets lined with great bars and world class restaurants. Check out the bustling North End with traditional Italian restaurants. Walk along the new redeveloped waterside area with, stopping in cafe's along the way and a visit to the famous Faneuil Hall is a must. New England enjoys warm summer and cool winters but it is famous for its breathtaking falls. Many of our customers combine a city stay with a beach holiday in Cape Cod, just a 90 minute car ride from Boston itself. From Boston’s bright lights to Cape Cod’s unspoilt beaches, It's the perfect combination for a summer holiday.

I love spending time in Vancouver, there is just so much to do no matter what your interests are. My top tips for a holiday to Vancouver would include the Capilano Suspension Bridge, a whale watching tour and you can't beat Gastown for the food and drink scene! Planning a trip to Vancouver? I highly recommend adding on another couple of nights elsewhere in British Columbia during your stay such as Whistler, Victoria or Vancouver Island, especially if you love outdoor adventure!

I love Mexico - for a beach lover like me, it's paradise! But Mexico isn't all white sandy beaches and all-inclusive resorts. Get out and see some of the beautiful attractions resulting from Mexico's Mayan history.

I love Seattle and the city's mix of urban cool feeling along with cultural and historical charm. Are you a coffee lover like me? Seattle is known as a world centre for coffee roasting so be sure to take some time to sample some as you enjoy the relaxed laid back vibe of the city or catch some of the city’s famous music scene.
While there are many great looking buildings in the Seattle skyline, the centrepiece is without a doubt the iconic Space Needle. I definitely recommend paying a visit to the observation deck to get the best views of the city!
