That picture does a good job of capturing the beauty of Honolulu. Decent snorkeling a few hundred feet from your hotel's door, Diamond Head in the distance, beautiful weather, shopping and dining a few steps from the beach....I can't wait to go back.

Doesn't see any part of the south Florida area on the list. Guess my low income just makes it seem like it's more expensive than it is. Not really surprised by any places on this list.
