I had a lot of fun touring Long Island, a few years ago, but I did not have time to visit Fire Island. Sounds like great plans for the summer!

Nothing like true wilderness camping (LOL.. 5 minute drive to a mega supermarket, Starbuck's and movie theatres but it's a nice beginning for others I'm traveling with). I'd like my granddghtr to have some of the freedoms that her father did as a child :). Also booked a 3 day weekend @ Fire Island National Seashore for Memorial Day weekend. Closer to back to nature camping there (the last time I was there sun showers were the order of the day) and hopefully my SO will enjoy it as well. As we live in a city that discourages car ownership we'll take a commuter train to Fire Island but rent a car to transport camping gear for Connecticut. Everyone else coming with us will take an inter state commuter train up and we'll run a shuttle service to pick em up from there. Apparently, despite my locale, lots of people enjoy camping as you really have to "jump" into researveamerica to get a nearby ( or far for that matter) spot.

We stayed at a first-come, first-served campground for Independence Day, last year. That's a great way to go, if you can arrive in the middle of the week. Got to jump on that one quick, Eric!

We're going up to Maine so not only do we get the camping experience, we're just a couple of mile away from the ocean as well. Yep, I’ve booked Independence day week already.
