I would enjoy the sandy beaches more I get cold really easily so being in snow capped mountains would not be the best vacation for me. Needless to say I am not a skier! My kids have never seen the ocean I would love to take them!

Most of all I adore white sandy beaches with gently waving palm trees, an aquamarine sea and a coral reef nearby for snorkeling opportunities. I have been to the Seychelles and saw some of the best beaches in the world. I went to the Maldives and saw a beautiful palm fringed islands. I have been to Samoa where I saw perfect beach front accommodation, traditional fales, thatched huts on stilts. It was dreamy to feel a gentle breeze and hear soft waves gently crashing against the shore. I love adventure even more than relaxation and really enjoy the challenge of walking up mountains. I saw stunning views whilst walking up Mount Warner in Australia. The last part up to the summit was demanding. Then the view from the top was awesome. I went up a mountain in New Zealand and go superb views then I was short of time coming back down. So I decided to take the route down for experienced climbers only. Oh my! It was so exciting to hold on the chains and go down an incredibly steep path. I love to see green valleys, blue rivers and fresh air in the countryside.

I am really more of a city person, than a person who likes either the mountais, or the beach, but if I were to choose between going to the mountains or going to the beath, I'd definitely choose the beach.

I like them both, a lot. But I have to say that I would rather go to any ruin any where anytime! So, I've been to Anasazi ruins in the 4 Corners area and that isn't either. I've been to Stonehenge, Avebury on the chalk plains of England. Roman ruins, I'd rather go to a ruin anyday than just be looking at a pretty place.

It depends on which month I can have my holidays. If it will be in the middle of winter, I would run to the beach ! If it will be in the middle of summer, I would go to the snowy mountains ! You know "spring time in the rockies" is very beautiful !

I like the snow because of the cool air, but it has to be on a flat surface. Me and the deadly heights, don't seem to get along..

for meit really depends on my mood that day. there are times that i feel like i just want to go to the beach without taking a swim. just sitting on the sand against a coconut tree, reading a book or playing with friends and just hanging out or playing beach volley would be great. then there are times that i just want to get away from the heat, the people and etc that the mountains would be a great way to spend a day. overlooking trees and mountains and quiet everywhere... its great, sitting on a chair drinking a hot choco... or waking up early watching the sun rise amazing... so id go for both
