POSTCARDS FROM THE ROAD!
Gotta love highway scenery as we drive South....Drive safe and enjoy the ride wherever you are headed!
SOME of the BEST WAYS TO DO SUMMER TRAVEL... (again...as always...send us your thoughts and ideas! - we are ONLY an email away!)
Best Time to drive to Long Island: Late at night - around 8 or EARLY in the morning. Midweek however around lunchtime is not bad either.
FLYING? Use AirPark at La Guardia, JFK and Newark - BEST DEAL IN TOWN! Click here for more info!
Also - one way to avoid baggage costs is to check out the airlines that don't charge - we love Southwest Airlines! They have a point system so when your plans change you don't go broke!
Also - NEVER forget to go online and check yourself in 24 hours before your flight - you can change your seat then too and go ahead and PAY for the bags if need be.
GOING TO SEE THE YANKEES?
We love to take a Bronxville Taxi to the bottom of the stairs in Woodlawn and take the subway - STOPS RIGHT AT THE STADIUM! Also the Metro North train - only thing is if you have to leave early that train doesn't come home til the game is over.
