Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the great articles. I live in NYC and am always looking for ways to get outside. Will definitely be checking out Fire Island this Holiday season!
Also, I loved your gift suggestions for travlers! Besides wanting everything on the list, it gave me some good ideas for an adventurer or two that I am buying gifts for. =)
Happy Holidays!
