I have been fortunate to visit a few of the Greek Isles.
I have visited Crete, Rhodes, Zakynthos, Skiathos, Skopelos, Parga and the Peleponese.
Each island offers individuality but still combines the traditional greek history, scenery and cuisine.
I have amazing memories seeing the turtles in Zakynthos, learning how to sail in the Peloponnese and watching the amazing sunsets in Parga while drinking a cocktail. Greece offers an abundance of choice, whether you want a relaxing holiday or hire a car to explore the island or fancy island hopping, all is possible.

California has so much to offer, I have visited the West Coast twice and will definitely go back again for sure. When I think of San Francisco, I think of the Golden Gate Bridge, Fisherman's Wharf, cable cars, visiting Alcatraz and eating seafood chowder from a sourdough bread bowl. 
San Diego is another fantastic place to visit to complement its gorgeous weather and amazing beaches, a visit to the Gas Lamp Quarter, Seaworld, the famous San Diego zoo, watch a ball game or take a day trip to the iconic Hotel Del Coronado on Coronado Island loved by Marilyn Monroe. 
Los Angeles if you fancy visiting Beverly Hills, Rodeo Drive and the Hollywood Walk of Fame or find your inner child by visiting Anaheim and enjoying all that Disney has to offer. 
Yosemite National Park and Napa Valley is on my list when I go back.

I visited Bergen on a city break, I was greeted with 5 inches of snow. All the buildings were brightly coloured and  everyone was so friendly. I would highly recommend the “Norway in a Nutshell tour”. You travel by bus through the mountains with a few photo stops to capture the frozen waterfalls. You then experience a fjords cruise on the magnificent Aurlandsfjord and on the narrow Naeroyfjord drinking hot chocolate with huge fluffy blankets wrapped around you while taking in all the views. You continue your journey onboard the breathtaking Flam Railway. A definite must if visiting Bergen.
