Why is that? It seems that you have the best of both worlds right now.

That could be true, but I am not a beach person, not a boat person. NYC is very nice to have close by (90 mins by train.) I live in a very nice area on LI, so a lot of the disparaging remarks people make about LI don't apply here. What someone else had mentioned in another thread is more fitting to this area -- people with money and conspicuous consumerism. That's not my style. I prefer living simply.

My family no longer lives on LI -- they're in Florida. I've stayed here because we are in a desirable school district and I have 2 children going through and because our family business is here.

Don't get me wrong, I love LI, but something inside me (since I was a little child) says small town, New England.

Okay, can I ask you this - why does New England, and Vermont more specifically, provide what you're looking for? Does it have an ambience unique to it that NY can't provide? Some of Long Island is sort of New England-esque, and there are many towns and villages upstate that are quaint and lovely. I come from one of them myself!

I'm going to start a new thread with the answer to your question as we are going off topic. I apologize for hijacking the OP's thread.
