She gives a hint: night. Three words pop in my mind is Night of Caribbean. I think her state live between Florida and Colombia! I can confirm her state live near to sea, when use the word 'night', you can think of events taking place in sea during night! Dancing in Hawaii, treasure hunt in deserted island and being stranded in night, the guy from CSI Miami who wear black suit and pants walking like a wind in dead of the night... it is interesting to associate with a word of 'night.' could it be one of the place is either Miami, Costa Rica, Jamaica, and The Bahamas...?
