Trip your way across America with your resolutions

I hate making New Year's resolutions, mostly because I really hate doing the same thing everyone else is doing. I usually make my resolutions in September. Maybe it's back to school or the changing season, but it just feels like a better place to start fresh.

America's Greatest CitiesThis year, I'm thinking I can combine my resolutions with my love of travel. According to America's Greatest Cities, visiting one of these cities can give me a great travel experience and make me a better person.

See for yourself...

Boston

Get healthy: Walk the Freedom Trail, Boston shoreline and Charles Esplanade to get healthy while enjoying the scenery and history.

Explore: Navy Pier never fails to entertain, no matter how many times I visit. And since Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews have joined the Chicago Blackhawks, the scenery is all that much better.
