Woodbury Commons Outlet Mall &
West Point Military Academy

Saturday, June 13

Hop on the chartered "OISS Bus" to West Point Military Academy and Woodbury Outlet Mall. First stop will be the Outlet Mall. Then in the afternoon, the bus will head over to West Point Military Academy, where a special tour has been arranged.

Limited to 50 people, so don't wait!

(In the event that you wish to transfer your ticket, contact warrena.wilkinson@yale.edu for names on the waiting list.) Each person is responsible for individual expenses throughout the day (meals, shopping, etc.).

You should wear comfortable walking shoes and be prepared for the weather. (We will be going rain or shine!) The bus ride is approximately 2 hours long. Feel free to bring the morning paper and your coffee and donut for the bus ride.

Meet at the International Center (421 Temple Street) at 7:45 a.m. Bus departs at 8:00 a.m. The bus returns to New Haven around 8:00 p.m. It is highly recommended that you do not miss the return bus. If you miss the return bus, you will be responsible for the cost of transportation back to New Haven and no refund will be given by OISS.

Newport, Rhode Island

Saturday, July 11

Take a chartered bus to beautiful Newport, Rhode Island. You have the day to go exploring on your own. There is a lot to see and do in Newport — visit a historic mansion, walk along the Cliff Walk, take a boat tour, rent a scooter/moped, shop, dine out or have a picnic lunch. For more visitors' information, go to www.gonewport.com.
