Appreciate all the suggestions but I am now more confused than ever ??

Miami, New Orleans and Los Angeles are certainties. Probably Vegas too as a base to visit the Grand Canyon.
I just have to decide on one or two other cities.

I like San Francisco with the Golden Gate Bridge and Alcatraz and decent public transport.

This would possibly leave one more city if I do 6 Cities in 3 weeks(3 or 4 days in each city is enough for me). I done 4 cities in 2 weeks last year.

This would likely leave a choice between San Diego or another city in the south.

A car is not possible because I only started lessons late last year and don’t have a license ??

Then 100% go with San Diego, don't waste too much time in the south. And since you are already going to Los Angeles and San Francisco....will make flights between those areas much cheaper. You can easily get a bus or train between Los Angeles and San Diego.

ETA: Weather in San Diego when you go will still be very nice btw. Can check out Pacific Beach/Mission Beach area, Gaslamp District, Petco Park, La Jolla area, Maritime Museum and USS Midway Museum in San Diego(if you are a history person), San Diego Zoo(one of the best, if not THE best, zoos in the U.S), SeaWorld, Balboa Park, and much, much more.

Dallas is a pretty polarizing city here in the states. I think it's fine as a sort of pit stop as you travel from the east to the west because flights to and from there are pretty cheap, but I wouldn't spend more than a day or two there. Fly in, see the JFK stuff, have a nice steak somewhere, visit Ft Worth, then fly out. That's really all there is to see, other than the fake plastic people.

San Francisco all day long over San Diego. Better food, better public transit, more interesting scenery, and better proximity to day trips (Napa/Sonoma, Muir Woods).

San Diego has better weather, and it’s a nice town for a short visit. But SF offers so much more.
