Hawaii
Of all the tropical destinations in the world, perhaps none epitomizes the word "paradise" more than the islands of Hawaii: Oahu, Maui, Kauai, Molokai, Lanai and the Big Island of Hawaii, so named because all the other islands combined could fit within its shores.

For beauty and diversity, the islands of Hawaii have no equal. Beaches glisten with pristine sands. Waters teem with countless varieties of tropical fish, from tiny needlefish that hover near the ocean's surface to humpback whales that journey from the Arctic each winter to breed and bask in warmer waters.

Golf enthusiasts have their choice of over 70 courses spread throughout the islands, most of them championship quality. Hikers will enjoy magnificent vistas on mountains that seem to be carved by a master sculptor. Bird watchers flock here, as do divers. Surfers from the around the world compete on Oahu's breathtaking North Shore. Hawaii is where you can snow ski in winter on the slopes of Mauna Kea, then snorkel in the afternoon. Hawaii is where you stand atop Haleakala and watch the sunrise peak out from the clouds below. Hawaii is where you can people watch on famous Waikiki beach or watch the lava from the Earth's only active volcano flow into the Pacific Ocean. Hawaii is where you can dine in gourmet restaurants, shop in international boutiques and dance almost until dawn.

If you're getting the idea that you can do it all in Hawaii, you're right, you can.
