San Francisco and Monterey
The Paris of the West will wow you immediately and leave a permanent mark on your memory. You'll get to experience the city's steep, winding hills, see the Golden Gate Bridge and take a walk back in time at the famous Fisherman's Wharf, where you'll find great food, boardwalk arcades and maybe even catch some seals lounging in the sun.
