A big congratulations going out to Queens for making the top of the list.

With 50 states, 14 territories, and countless, ever-changing destinations for curious travelers, choosing where to go in the US can be a challenge. Luckily, we love a good travel challenge.

Washington, DC and Rocky Mountain National Park were recommended in Lonely Planet’s Best in Travel 2015, but we couldn’t leave it at just two. As in previous years, we tapped into the expertise of Lonely Planet’s US authors and editors to come up with the top 10 American destinations primed for a visit in 2015.

2015’s Best in the US list includes a mix of up-and-coming destinations, old faves with new highlights and places poised to shine. And we hope you like to eat and drink, because the whole country seems to be enjoying a local food renaissance. No matter what your taste in travel, these destinations are sure to satisfy your appetite for the coming year.

A bunch of new Yorkers are retiring down there. I know some people who retired to Cary and the

houses are much cheaper than here on Long Island. Their only complaint was that they have to

drive everywhere since the stores aren't in walking distance like they are here.

My brother moved near Charlotte and he said more than half of his neighbors are from NY/nj/ct/pa/mi etc. My parents are probably heading down in a few years too. Lake Norman is supposed to be nice

Charlotte is really nice. They have 2 kids at DUKE so they followed them down to be closer .

Yeah, I was surprised how much of a house that they were able to buy after selling here and living on a LI teachers pension.

Many states down south including NC & FL are very pension friendly states. When you bring a NY pension down there as well you will live like a king/queen. Cost of living isn't even a fraction of ours. I have a good friend who pays 3000 a yr on property taxes down in GA on a 3500sq ft house w/ 10 acres of land lol.. Thats only a third of my taxes for the yr smh

...with all this talk of a pattern change..( believe me..i trust what the big names say here..don s.,dt,earthlight,et al)

but until i hear it on the local tv outlets..( lee goldberg/jeff smith being most respected ) my expectations are held in check.

...still 10+ days to go..so its not on their 'radar' yet..but hopefully we start hearing little blurbs of whats ahead..
