Dreaming of vacations just got a bit more fun.

Life Books has named some New York state locales as “hot spots” in “Dream Destinations: 100 of the World’s Best Vacations! ” which just came out this month. The editors suggest Cooperstown, which has baseball, culture and beautiful scenery — and also New York City and the Adirondacks.

Here are some other destination ideas from the editors:

Families — London, Orlando, and New York City.
Culture Vultures —Giverny, France; Lenox, Massachusetts; and Nanjing, China
Sightseers — The Bosporus Strait, Ireland’s Burren, and Le
Marche, Italy
Sporty Types — Golfing in Oregon, Cooperstown and white-water

Kalaupapa Peninsula

About the author
Barbara NackmanA municipal reporter for The Journal News since 1997, Barbara Livingston Nackman has covered local governments, events and breaking news from many communities. She began her journalism career by writing for bookselling and library publications. As a suburban mother, she made sure her two sons, now 23 and 21, had bookshelves and reading chairs in their rooms and library cards way before they had driver's licenses. Her editors have now found an outlet for all those book-related stories she pitches and her husband hopes she gains an interest in reading historical non-fiction.

Well, maybe if it's about Benjamin Franklin and the Free Library of Philadelphia. READ MORE
