Well, you picked the right place for heaven on earth. Many places on the Big Island qualify for that. When I saw the subject of the thread the first place I thought of was the island of Hawaii.
But to a large degree this subject is really more a state of mind. Almost anywhere can be heaven on earth if one is in the right frame of mind. So some of my heavens on earth:
Sitting on a sofa in a funky basement apartment on the first date with my wife.
Sitting on the bank of the Missouri River in Vermillion, SD on a warm summer day with a good friend and a six pack of beer.
Walking down Grant Avenue in Chinatown in San Francisco on a foggy night when out of nowhere came the sound of someone playing the blues on a saxophone.
