That place is packed already! 

[JustJazzmom]

C'mon to LI!! Take the Ferry from New London CT to Orient Point, NY-- Avoid the traffic on I-95 for the most part.

Then visit the wineries-- many to choose from.

Travel west and visit the Tanger Outlet in Riverhead.

Spend a day there.

Visit St James and have dinner at the Three Village Inn--in Stonybrook-- It's now owned by the people who had Mirabelle Restaurant.

Now get on the LIE otherwise known as the Long Island Expressway -- we refer to it as the Long Island Distressway and get to know what real 'traffic' is like! We do traffic big here!!

We have another nickname for the 495-- The world's longest parking lot.

Do not come on a Friday at 4PM-- you get stuck in early work release people and those going out to the Hamptons and further East.

Every city in recent history that's hosted the Olympics has been saddled with debt for years to come.  Look what happened in Athens.

Well, yes, but it IS Athens after all. Look what dire straits they are in now, and that has nothing to do with the Olympics land everything to do with a mindset.

Sounds like a plan, JustJazzmom - almost:  perhaps you d/n realize you can't get off the MassPike on Fri/Sat!!!  (Actually easterly the Pike is also a parking lot trying to head to the Cape, Plum Island, et al, at the same time there's a big game on (Pats, Sox...) - got the ans. - helicopters!!!

[JustJazzmom]

@eddyandme

Would you believe that there is a airpath that helicopters must take to get out to the Hamptons? They cannot just fly over certain areas-- a specified path for them-- too much noise for citizens to hear all the time.

So your Mass Pike sounds like a Miss Pike.

All I can say is thank goodness for interstates-- can you imagine how long travel would take if taking local roads?

[eddyandme]

HAD NO IDEA - helicopter "lanes" .....Wow!  speechless!
