For me it would be Fiji. I went there for a week last year on a whim while in New Zealand for a month. It was the only time I went on holidays on my own and although was nevous about being Jacqui no mates it was quite the opposite. Most of the people on the island (Beachcomer Island -
http://www.beachcomberfiji.com) were back packing around the place and travelling alone. So it was up to you whether you wanted to be on your own or not. I prefered to do this during the day so to consentrate on snorkling (somthing I had not till I went there after being persuaded by a germen girl I met), reading, perhaps if the mood took me, talk to who ever was near me...yes it was that friendly!!! The weather was perfect. At night there was "entertainment" - not professional but great fun! also went for midnight dipps in the lagoon with some people I met there...not bothering to take clothes off and running back "inside" to dry off our clothes when dancing. It was the ultimate freedome from everything, including convention....Oh I miss it!!!! funny - one of the things I really loved about it also was not wearing shoes for the week (they felt tight on me when I did finally put them on again!).
The accomadation was...well, pretty basic to say the least. I stayed in a mixed dorm with around 80 other people but that was ok and not as if you hung around there much other than to sleep and change (did that in the loos though!)...One day I will go back there and bring Trev with me. He is more in the 5* thing but I am hoping that this is the one place that will change his mind. (Seriously thinking that I am a hippy at heart and about to enter into a Dharma & Gregg marriage!).
