Free Writing 2: Best place I've been

The best place I've ever been was the North Shore of the Hawaiian island of Oahu. My family traveled here a few summers ago and it was unlike any other experience I've ever had. Driving up to the North Shore from Waikiki Beach, which is on the southern end of the island, was a peaceful and relaxing drive. Lining the road on one side were jungle covered mountains and on the other was the deep blue ocean that stretched to the horizon. Once we reached the North Shore, we stayed at a resort named Turtle Bay Resort. We spent nearly the whole first day there just walking around and taking it all in. This paradise was vastly different from home. Waking up every morning and being able to just sit on the balcony and stare out at the ocean is something that everyone should experience sometime in their life. It was the perfect place for a man to kick back, relax, and collect his thoughts.
