Hawaii, the big island. Not as commercialized as the rest of the Islands. Very beautiful, the volcanoes are incredible. We took a helicopter tour and you could feel the heat coming off them it was intense!
I love the ocean and the beach, but I would still have to say my grandmother's house in western NC. It was just out side of Hendersonville, on the side of a mountain. When you got up in the morning you could stand on the porch and all around you was nothing but mountains shrouded in fog. It was so peaceful and quite.
My grandparents used to have a house in Lake Toxaway. I think that was about 15 miles from there. I agree, every summer I would go up there and even when I was 13, it still felt so nice and peaceful compared to Florida.
Belize and Hawaii were both beautiful. But Lake Travis and the Concan(Texas Hill Country river) are the prettiest place I have been in the continental US.
