New York!

[starbellys]

Friends,

We need a little advice. My daughter starts grad school on Long Island in August. She will be driving there from Florida. Can anyone tell us the best way to get to Long Island from the south and avoiding New York City traffic as much as possible?

Thanks much

Do you mind if I ask which school? I'm dissertating with a school out on Long Island. There's only one I can think of.

As for NYC traffic - the best way to do it is to go up the Jersey Tpk., take Exit 13 to the Verazano Bridge and go through Staten Island. It cuts out Manhattan, though the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway up to the Long Island Expressway is kind of a pain in the ass. AVOID RUSH HOUR.

I'd advise you to avoid the LIE too (otherwise known as the world's biggest parking lot), but it's impossible. Just, avoid late afternoon rush hour on the way out.

This is GREAT information. Thank you!

You're welcome.

BTW, people always ask me who made your icons whenever I use them. Especially pregnant Justin.

Hey, your stories provided great inspiration. Is Justin ever gonna have that baby? I think we need a mangina!Justin icon.

Bwah!Every time I see that icon, I wish Randy would see it. *izevil*
