do these make sense, i have to fit it all on a business card so i'm only giving directions from the LIE, since everyone knows how to get that far.
DIRECTIONS TO THE U.S. MERCHANT MARINE ACADEMY
TAKE THE LONG ISLAND EXPRESSWAY TO EXIT 33 - COMMUNITY DRIVE/LAKEVILLE ROAD. HEAD NORTH ON LAKEVILLE ROAD AND PROCEED APPROXIMATELY 3 MILES (THROUGH THE VILLAGE OF GREAT NECK). LAKEVILLE ROAD WILL CHANGE INTO MIDDLE NECK ROAD. MAKE A LEFT ONTO STEAMBOAT ROAD (MOBIL GAS STATION ON THE CORNER). TAKE STEAMBOAT ROAD ALL THE WAY TO THE GATES OF THE ACADEMY.

Re: Proof my directions please!
The only thing I would ask: is the exit 33N or just 33? If there are 2 exits, I would specify that. If only one exit, I would tell people to turn right or left when they get off the ramp, if they have a choice. I know you are telling them to go north, but some people need more explicit instruction. Just a suggestion....
This is from many years of hearing my dad say to my mom, 'don't tell me north or south, tell me left or right!' while she was navigating

Re: Proof my directions please!
Sounds perfect to me! I'd know how to get there--even if I didn't already know how to get there!

depending on if they are coming from the east or west depends on the Left or Right, i was trying to avoid having to put 2 sets of directions.

Re: Proof my directions please!
Thanks for the tip! I actually want my guests to go the way my dad drives there. I have to have him take me that way so I can write up the directions. Steamboat Road goes past a yucky neighborhood and the way my dad goes it is all trees and big estates. Let me know if you want to go that way.

Gotcha! Didn't even think of that! The original one did look good, just wanted to throw an idea or 2 out there - you did a good job.
