<p>It’s a long way, but it is totally doable. A college friend of D did it a while ago, and she had never done this before. She said it was fine. Trains run on time, and you can get the schedule on line by checking LIRR schedule, Ronkonoma line. Then you can check things to do in New York by googling “Things to do in New York,” and lots of sites will come up. Have a good time, and don’t hesitate to ask more questions.</p>
