When times are tight a vacation can magically become a STAYCATION! If you can find a not-so-far-away getaway you can get most of the fun of a vacation at a much nicer price to your bottom line. Travel Lens did a little research, analyzing safety, affordability, and available amenities of the most popular tourist destinations to determine the 20 Best Places in the US For a Staycation.

It would really suck if I shared this info and we didn’t have a New England option for you to staycation in. Don’t worry about that. We have a whopping ONE entry in the Top 20. So where is your next great New England staycation? Let’s get to the list!

While we’re giving New England some props, Honolulu was just named the friendliest city in America. The #2 friendliest is in Rhode Island. Can you guess it? CLICK HERE to see if you’re right. Staycations… right… let’s go!
