[Travelandtourism] Weekend trips to Long Island

[cheryl echevarria]

Vicki why don't you give us some information, it will be educating to me to 
hear them myself, so I can recommend to my clients.

Well, Long Island is beautiful this time of year, access is great by public 
transports or SCAT, accept for Sundays they do not ride on the weekend here 
in Suffolk which is the east end of the Island.

Many things to do on the weekend, the beaches are some of the best in the 
Hamptons, we have some great wine vineyard tours as well as the Gold Coast, 
which was the homes to the Vanderbilt's and other famous families that you 
can get tours of.

We also have Eisenhower Park in Nassau County, which the an area dedicated 
to the Veterans of Foreign War, from World War I, II, Korea, and my dad 
helped with the Vietnam Part, being a Vietnam Veteran, we have many, many 
things to do here on Long Island for a weekend get away.

We also have Splish Splash which is one of the largest water parks in the 
tri-state area.

And the Long Island Railroad takes about 1 hour to get into NY City for 
other things to do.
