Long Island Expressway (Interstate 495 Exits 68 to 73) eastbound

[ScenicRoadTrip]

I'm from the midwest, but have to travel Long Island quite a few times a year for work and it's difficult to explain to friends and family back home just how large of an Island this is...sometimes it can be a pain to simply travel 5 miles, especially during tourist season. I headed back there tomorrow...but am cheating and taking the Cross Sound Ferry from CT!...so much less stressful!
