The drive did seem a bit long but I thought it was worth it. We also did the North Fork - which I loved - and Shelter Island. Long Island is a hidden gem!

It worked out quite well this time - we met her at JFK and picked up the rental car and headed East. Might have to do it again sometime!

Once in a while, my sister sends me pictures of the places she visits on weekend gateways and Montauk is one of the places she likes. Would like to visit one day with her. #WeekendWanderlustRuthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03263301081869858071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236483471506976307.post-67477955128233118212017-07-22T18:00:46.857-07:002017-07-22T18:00:46.857-07:00Wow!

Hubby says his father used to travel hours to go fishing here in the 70's and 80's. He went once but said he didn't like fishing from a row boat in the middle of winter.Rhonda Albomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17455873487349816911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236483471506976307.post-45775085194120065952017-07-22T06:52:48.319-07:002017-07-22T06:52:48.319-07:00The trick in visiting the Hamptons is doing fun th...The trick in visiting the Hamptons is doing fun things while avoiding the crowds. Montauk is good for that because it' further than The Hamptons and many just don't want to drive that extra stretch. Shelter Island and the North Fork are more low key, too. glad you enjoyed the East End.

We can get a direct flight to Sydney from JFK and take some of the hassle out of long haul travel but it does mean playing Russian roulette with New York City traffic. By staying on Long Island for our last couple of nights we can generally get to the airport without getting stuck in traffic. We wouldn't stay out as far as Montauk but it sounds like a wonderful destination. Maybe next trip we will put aside a few nights for it as well.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7236483471506976307.post-57126731541450948962017-07-21T10:54:25.413-07:002017-07-21T10:54:25.413-07:00What a beautiful beachy area!
