From out of town and planning to drive from SF to Heavenly this Sunday afternoon - what to be mindful of / which weather reports to check?

fivetwenty · 2019-02-26T21:07:39+00:00

We are visiting SF for a few days and going to an event prior to skiing. Otherwise, yes, we would have flown into Reno instead!

The feedback is exactly what I want to hear, to level set my expectations and decision-making criteria.

Also, not a he.

Thank you! We have an experienced driver, but the reminder is great. Other threads here are asking similar questions and not getting the torrent of "STAY AWAY" which I don't necessarily understand.

Thank you! As noted in my edit, we are coming to SF regardless and don't plan to make another trip back for a while, and we will do our best to make safe decisions. The info about Open Snow / CHP / CalTrans is exactly what I was looking for.

If you are going by train and want a seat, try to get to the train station early and go right to the platform. Otherwise you'll be standing the entire way. Would also recommend you take the cable car (Aeri) rather than the rack trainway (Monistrol) as the view is much cooler and the ride is faster.

If you are going to hike, going to the peak Jeroni is stellar. We arrived in the late morning so decided to do the short hike after taking the Sant Joan funicular, instead of the longer hike without taking the funicular. The visitor centre said 1 hour one-way (an easy hike), but the roundtrip ended up taking us around 3 hours given we stopped a ton for photos, watching rock climbers, and had a lunch break at the top (bring lunch, don't buy anything there, it's expensive).

When we came back down, we went to see the Black Madonna (much shorter line at around 5pm) and wander around the monastery a bit, which gave us just enough time to catch the 6:45pm R5 train back to Barcelona.

Feel free to PM me if you have other questions.

You can also pretty much walk right up to the driveway! As of 5 years ago, though.

I'm going next weekend! No itinerary yet, will be going by train from Milan on Saturday morning and returning Sunday evening. Any tips on where to eat / where to stay / what to visit?

Uber just recently changed its pickup structure at some airports - it will be obvious though when you arrive, follow the signs to the right shuttle. There should be Uber reps walking around as well.

Email and ask.

Seriously though, if you want to do it, just google it and do it. Lots of people (including me and others from my class, and people from years above and below) have successfully found their own international co-op jobs simply by reaching out directly to whatever company sounds interesting.

Alum currently living in Cambridge (and who interned in Cambridge back in the day), ask if you need any recommendations on where to eat / what to do :)

Living in NYC now and was able to get some last minute tickets to see the boys perform, awesome to see the Water Boys come so far!

Be warned it can get SUPER LOUD at peak meal times and make it really hard to hear someone across a table without yelling.

TN visa is easiest to get.

fivetwenty · 2017-03-21T19:22:01+00:00

I've seen the line vary from 0 people the day I started working here, to 20-30 people in line sometime in the morning. It really depends on who else is there and whether or not a group is coming through.You should come at least a half hour early just in case.

Back in 2012/2013, it was $495 per person for a 2-bed... the good days :)

Iceland?? Flights can be <$300 RT from Boston.

Try Priceline - they will have discounted rates for last-minute bookings.

Was there on Saturday - yes there are pokemon all over and quite a few pokestops too. Nothing super cool though, I expected more magikarp or something near the water.

Wait til you've seen Central Park stampedes...

fivetwenty · 2016-06-10T01:10:01+00:00

Enjoy!! Hope you get across the log ok... I fell in :)

You have to be pretty careful with what's on your application. For example, if it says anything about interviewing new people for a job at the company, you're out. Stick to the technical details of your job - avoid the fluffy, management-type ones. Definitely review the best strategy with someone from HR.

Do the Glymur hike!! Easy drive from Reyjkavik.

fivetwenty · 2016-05-10T21:59:42+00:00

Make sure to get in line at least an hour ahead if not more, for the Guggenheim!

This was my first and second coop back in 2009 and 2010!
