If you travel to Granada, try to set aside half a day (at least) for the Alhambra Palace and gardens.

What are good New York Tours? - Try a two day ticket on the double decker bus, which may also include a ferry ticket. It takes you around all the places of interest, and after doing a full loop the first time, you can take it around again to get off at places like Macys, Ground Zero, Empire State, etc. You can jump on and off. At first, stay on and go around the whole tour; then use it like a taxi.

What places of interest are a must to see in Cape Town? - Go up Table Mountain first to orient yourselves. Do the hop on and off bus for major attractions. The African Penguin colony at Boulders Beach is amazing. Also, visit the Cango Caves.

Where in Fiji should you get married? - Getting married in Fiji will be the best decision you ever make. So stress free! First decide whether or not you want an island wedding or a mainland wedding. If you are after that picture postcard look, then go for an island. Have your guests stay at Plantation island resort, and maybe you do so yourself leading to the wedding. Then adjourn to Lomani resort once married. The two resorts are literally side by side.
