TENTATIVE SCHEDULE -*Times are approximate. Schedule will be adjusted according to Academy Leave times.  We MUST have your mid's email address for last minute notifications of time and meeting place.  Details will be sent via e-mail prior to each departure date. 

There is no Mid-Express bus service offered from USNA to NJ for the Christmas/Winter holiday break.  Mid leave-time varies based on their exam schedules and most mids would be unwilling to hang around an extra day or two to ride the bus.  Because almost everyone is due back at USNA at nearly the same time after the holidays, we offer the return trip in January 2011.
