I live on the rainy side of the Big Island of Hawaii. My favorite mini-vacation is to drive over to the sunny/beachy side for a day or two. The landscape is so different, it's like being someplace totally different -- without five hours on a plane to get there.

My favourite destination is a lake up in Northern(ish) Saskatchewan, where I'm from. It's a really narrow but long lake and when I was young (and we had a canoe) we'd go canoe across the lake and... I don't know what, really. There wasn't a campground or anything there, but yeah. I loved going up there and haven't been in a few years.
