Even if you do not live on Long Island or even in the New York City area, you are certain to be aware of The Hamptons. The area has come to be a place where many financiers to celebrities call home...in the summer. And, it often makes various "news" outlets because of that.
On a rainy, overcast Monday in April, I was flipping through the New York Post when I came across an article that stopped me in my tracks. It was titled Step Into the Past and described a fascinating footwear exhibit that was opening at the New York Historical Society on April 20th.
We’re halfway through August so there’s still time to go on a jaunt to Europe or wherever. And, of course, September is always beautiful everywhere – not muggy like August or freezing like February.

There are two things that you should know – right off – about Bermuda: #1 is that it’s relatively close and #2 it’s not in the Caribbean.
