We live on Long Island, and are about 30 miles east of New York City. The best way to get here is mass transit, take the Long Island Rail Road from Penn Station, NY to the Babylon Train Station. We live about 10 minutes from there and have NO problem picking people up from the train station.
Some people who come from north and east like to skip the bridges and take the ferry across the sound. This isn't cheap BUT with the cost of gas and tolls, it's not as expensive as you think plus it's a much nicer ride in which you can relax instead of scaring yourself silly with NYC traffic. The two ferries are the Port Jeff Ferry from Bridgeport, CT and the Orient Point ferry from New London, CT.

I was hoping you had sent this while I was sitting in your living room FRI, so I could mock you mercilessly, but, alas, it was from late the night before I arrived on your doorstep.
