My family — me, my husband, our 8- and 3-year-old daughters, and our wire-haired dog, who's 14 years young — recently took a trip to the Hamptons.
We could've driven down from our home in Vermont through high-traffic New York City and then out to Long Island via the Long Island Expressway and Montauk Highway. But I certainly didn't want to be one of the 900,000 vehicles entering Manhattan on any given day, and that route would've meant six straight hours in the car (or more, depending on traffic).
Instead, we drove about two hours to New London, Connecticut, where we took a 90-minute ferry to Orient Point, New York. From there, we took a small ferry to Block Island and another small boat to Sag Harbor, a short drive from our final destination.
Other than some highway driving in Connecticut, we avoided heavy traffic and had a scenic, if long, journey.
Here's what it was like.

It's been a bad week for Delta flyers, but here's a little good news amid the chaos: The airline's major partner Aeromexico is launching a new nonstop flight between Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) near New York City and Aeropuerto Internacional Benito Juárez (MEX) in Mexico City. The daily service, a codeshare with Delta, is scheduled to begin on October 27.
Over the coming weeks, some 15 million visitors will descend upon Paris for the 2024 Olympics. And many will linger longer, hitting the country’s hotspots such as the much-loved Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, which already teems with travelers. So if you’ve been eyeing a hotel nestled in the quaint town of Gordes, or dreaming about a dip off the coast of Antibes or Saint-Tropez, you might want to think again. But that doesn’t mean you have to rule out a sojourn to the South of France altogether–other sunny locations including lesser-trafficked Marseille and the Luberon Valley, sans Masseratis and glitzy Gucci slides, are indeed worthwhile for a quiet city break.

I'm zooming across Gull Lake in a Malibu Wakesetter 22 LSV powerboat, which I've been told has enough torque to rocket me to the moon. The water is 77 degrees, warmed by a sun that just won't quit. Captain Amanda Nash and instructor Matt Soundy barely look old enough to drink, yet both are skilled wake surfers, excited to show me their TikTok moves. They're living the wet, hot American dream here in central Minnesota: zigzagging across six-foot swells, sucking down root beer floats, and partying every night after work. They're fun gossips too, pointing out the rumored lake homes of Tom Cruise and some med-tech bajillionaire who allegedly imported his own beach sand because the lake sand wasn't “white enough.” I enjoy the chitchat, but I'm here to launch my own wakeboarding career—one of several ways I'm trying to embrace the “lake life” I've heard so much about since moving to Minnesota six years ago. The state is the “Land of 10,000 Lakes,” as its license plates proudly attest, but as my New Yorker husband, Andrew, and I learned, that motto rounds the number down: There are actually 11,842, if you want to get persnickety about it.
