The previous two responses to this post cover my thoughts on this 
location being someplace tropical, because of the flashy birds Sirius 
used to send messages to Harry.  However, I've always thought there 
was the possibility that Sirius hooked up with someone sympathetic to 
him during this period, simply because he has no wand, so is somewhat 
hindered in his wizarding abilities, and no money.  Since his 
physical condition improved, one would think he was eating at least 2 
square meals a day. And he obviously has parchment, quills and ink 
handy...maybe he just hung around the wizard version of a tropical 
Club Med...
