DAY 01 - 05: SAN FRANCISCO, USA

San Francisco, known as the 'City by the Bay' is arguably the most cosmopolitan and bohemian city in America. It is also one of the most beautiful, with its pretty houses and hilly streets providing breath taking views of the bay and the famous Golden Gate Bridge.  Whilst San Francisco is “big” in terms of attractions and amenities, it is geographically small – only 49 square miles, making it very easy to see and do a great many things in a short period of time - the perfect Twin or Multi-Centre destination.

So whether you are gazing in awe at the Golden Gate bridge, taking a ride on one of the iconic Cable Cars, soaking up the vibe on Fisherman's Wharf, or visiting the notorious former prison of  Alcatraz, you will find something of interest around every corner of San Francisco. 

DAY 05 - 09: LAS VEGAS, USA

Las Vegas the Entertainment Capital of the World. Everywhere you look from the Strip to the fabulous Fremont Street Experience, there is a vast amount of amazing things to see and do in Las Vegas.

Attracting more than 38 million visitors every year, you will be blown away by what Las Vegas has to offer. Take a Gondola ride through the streets of Venice, fine dine 50 storeys up in a half scale replica of the Eiffel Tower or ride a roller coaster at 900 ft on top of the Stratosphere Tower. If  gambling, stage shows and concerts preformed by some of the world's leading entertainers are not your thing, you can simply lay by the swimming pool with a drink in your hand soaking up the sun! Las Vegas really does have it all.

DAY 09 - 12: WASHINGTON DC, USA

Behind the very public face of Washington DC lies a vibrant city with its own compelling story, not to mention the biggest range of free attractions in the United States of America.

Get your bearings by wandering from the Lincoln Memorial to the Capitol Building along the 2-mile centrepiece National Mall, home to the majority of the city’s 17 Smithsonian museums. The cast-iron dome of the Capitol marks the geographic heart of the city, from where all neighbourhoods radiate outwards. The historic Capitol Building recently took pride of place, draped in flags, during President Barack Obama's inauguration public ceremony and parade, the day after he was sworn in for his second term in office as the USA's 44th President. With a population of just 600,000, Washington DC is smaller than almost any major capital city you can think of, making it easily navigable on foot, by bike or via its easy Metro system.

Beyond all the glittering white marble and neoclassical architecture, shopping and entertainment options abound. Georgetown and Dupont Circle both offer stylish stores and speciality boutiques of the mainstream and indie variety, with a buzzing dining and nightlife scene, or sample local produce and people-watch at the Eastern Market in Capitol Hill. Further north, Adams Morgan brims with coffee shops, bookstores and galleries and caters to a young, hip crowd.

Music and theatre are huge, with venues like The Kennedy Centre and Warner Theatre attracting large audiences. Free summer concerts and a year-round calendar of festivals add to the rich culture of the city.
