Check out Rule 3.
Are would not make sense in this context since the things being compared on not plural. The author is not saying that they are going to both destination(s), they are saying they are going to one of them first, meaning you would use is.
Example:
Dogs are my favorite animals.
Dogs is plural, so you use are.
That dog is my favorite.
There is only one dog, so you use is.
THANK YOU
Ill post the stuff for ya as a check on it when i get it back.
The verb that correctly completes the sentence is "is".
To determine the correct verb, you should first identify the subject of the sentence, which is "mountains of Colorado or the ocean of Florida". In this case, the subject is singular, as it refers to a single vacation destination. Therefore, the verb should agree in number and be in the singular form, which is "is".
