I don't think I could possibly care less about 'bragging rights' so I just picked the one I wanted to visit. Hawaii.

Honolulu obviously. Jump aboard the Jetstar flight and I'm there in 11 hours for less than a week's wages

Barrow without a second thought. Besides the fact that it's cooler than Hawaii, I would be exchanging a BA's winter for a Barrow's summer, which is colder than a BA's winter, so that's a good deal. On the other hand, going to Hawaii would be exchanging my winter for a tropical summer. No thanks.

BTW, it'd be also interesting because I could experience the long daylight of Barrow and I'd get to know Alaska.

Alaska, hands down. Beaches are boring. Give me an opportunity for deep sea fishing, seeing wild animals, enjoying the midnight sun. Maybe catch some fresh salmon, see bears. Moose, elk... Love it.

I can think of far more interesting areas of Alaska to go to particularly the southeast. Barrow is a bit too out of the way.

This makes Honolulu a easy choice as I love the beach and the tropical atmosphere.

There's more to see and do in Honolulu. So in reality I'd go with that. However, if there was as much in Barrow to do as there is in Honolulu, I'd visit Barrow. It can even snow there in July.

Honolulu, of course. Summer is the season for warm weather - Canada has long enough winters that I have no desire to extend them even by a few days, especially if those few days fall during the short warm season.
