Маршрут

Itinerary


I have 11 more days in Russia, and then I'm heading back by a somewhat complicated and roundabout route.

-Sunday, August 9: Travel to Pulkovo Airport, probably by metro. Depart from St. Petersburg, Russia, at 1:00am on...

-Monday, August 10: Arrive at Ben-Gurion Airport Tel-Aviv, Israel, at about 4:40am. Take the train to Tel-Aviv, get picked up by an awesome Israeli friend (thanks, Pri!), put stuff down, spend the day hanging out in Tel Aviv eating falafel (YES), exploring, chilling and swimming at the beach (YES). Spend the night.

-Tuesday, August 11: Travel day. Train back to Ben-Gurion at about 6am. Depart for New York JFK at 10:40am, and arrive the same day in New York at 3:20pm. Take the airport bus to Penn Station. Then, BoltBus to Boston South Station, departing 6:30pm and arriving at 10:45. From there, someone will pick me up and I'll head over to stay with friends near Tufts!

-Wednesday, August 12: Tufts/Boston. Spend time with friends, but also visit the TOL office and the Study Abroad office to clear things up with my flat-lined computer and with the upcoming year abroad. Also get a haircut.

-Thursday, August 13: Tufts/Boston again. More time with friends. At 10:30pm, my bus departs from South Station--an overnight Greyhound to Washington, DC. The joys of living as a student!

-Friday, August 14: Washington, DC: Arrive at 8:40am. Spend lots of time with family. Wave to Obama.

-Saturday, August 15: Washington, DC: more family time.

-Sunday, August 16: DC: more family time.

-Monday, August 17 (probably not the day before): Fly back to California, arriving before Monday afternoon so as to have as much time as possible with friends before everyone heads back to school.

Then, I'll be in California for about six weeks, relaxing and spending time with friends and family and maybe earning some money, and of course preparing for my year abroad. Road trip to Mexico, anyone? (I'm only half-kidding.)


September 30: Flight from Burbank Airport (Los Angeles), through SFO, to Osaka International Airport, Japan, to start my year abroad on October 1. I'll be studying at Kanazawa University with the Tufts-in-Japan program.


Yow. This is real.
