On Sunday, June 19th, at 6 AM, I will hop in a cab headed for Logan. On Sunday, July 10th, I’ll return to Boston. In the mean time, I’ll be in Washington, DC for a DOE fellowship conference, in Japan for a number of things (mostly a conference talk, but mostly for fun), and Vermont for some serious chilling. The itinerary looks like this:

6/19 - 6/21: Washington, DC; Washington Court Hotel on Capitol Hill (cool google maps view), which is a stone’s throw from the Capitol Building (surprise!); I can attest that it looks much less blocky in person.

6/22 - 7/2: Japan. Spend the first three nights near Tokyo at the Iwases’ home; they are a family with whom my family has been friends since before I can remember. The 26th and 27th will be spent in Kyoto, where I’m staying in a hotel for the night. On the 27th, I take a speedy choo-choo to Yokohama, where the conference is being held. I’ll spend 5 nights there at the Yokohama Grand Intercontinental. The entire Japan trip revolves around me giving a 25 minute talk about how cooperation is da bomb and can help a particular computer-related task.

7/2 - 7/10: Tranquility Base II, Killington, VT. The annual Vermont trip begins while I am still on a plane from Tokyo, but I’ll be driving up as soon as I can get myself together. Heather has dubbed the trip “Disturbing the Tranquility,” which I found to be witty and thus quoted here.

I pass through Boston between each of these trips, but am effectively gone until they are over with. There shall be pictures. There shall be stories. Until then, sayonara.

    Actually, I think either Geoff or Joe entitled their most recent webpage of VT photos “disturbing the tranquility,” so I can’t REALLY take credit for the name.

    *laughs out loud at Geofff, though it’s nearly one year later*
