That is true! When I take really LONG trips (my personal best: 27 hours straight of flying and layover time, for example; or 16 hours straight on the same plane trapped in the same ^*%#%@ seat) and I talk to other people on the trip, and they say from where in the country they traveled just to get to JFK and how long THAT took, I am so glad I live 10-15 minutes away from it, instead of having to take a big journey just to get to it and then get started on the really LONG trip … and I am also glad when I get back to JFK that is it … no other plane to catch!

The best things about LI are the food and shopping options. After that, not much compared to other parts of the USA.

If LI had year round beach weather, we would look like Miami. Seriously, there would be high rises right on the water. The winter is what keeps us safe from that junk.
