Yes, she doesn't fly private, as far as I know.

Maria did fly private once in Europe, so did several times in USA. But I doubt she flies private between continents.

from maria's Facebook :

Here is a picture we took right before Wimbe...all the team girls wearing my Nike collection.
Getting all five of us together for a picture took longer than designing the collection itself but it turned out to be quite fun(ny). Do we smile, look extremely serious, or pretend like we're reunited buddies?! Well, how about a little bit of each! And who told Iveta she could have her hair down? I did not get that memo!!
Thank you girls for representing my line and making it look tres chic.

From Maria's website:

Second half of 2012 schedule
After the Olympics, Maria will play two hardcourt events before the US Open at Montreal and Cincinnati.

Maria will head to Montreal to play the Rogers Cup which begins on August 7th and then try to defend her title at the Western & Southern Open in Cinncinati and that begins one week later.

Maria will then take a week off to prepare for the final Grand Slam of the year at the US Open in New York which begins on August 25th.

After the US Open, Maria will play two events on the Asian leg of the calendar: Toray Pan Pacific Open in Tokyo which will begin on September 29th and the China Open in Beijing which begins a week later.

Maria hasn't officially qualified for the final event of the year at the TEB BNP Paribas WTA Championships in Istanbul, Turkey at the end of October but there is a very strong chance she will with her record so far this year.

Predictable and same as every year but I like this schedule. Only biggest and most important tournaments.

Asherahpova · Jul 8th, 2012, 01:17 AM

She might might play both Asian tournaments but I would be astonished if she turned up in Montreal.

It might depend on how deep she goes for Gold. Three tournaments back to back is tough and that is made much worse by the switch from grass to HC. Maybe she'll do an Azzo to save another zero tournament.

True, although hopefully she won't have an early OG exit. Just realising I wrote might might instead of might well, sometimes I have no idea what I'm typing on here.

Anyone know if Maria will be in attendance at the 2012 ESPY awards in 3 days time?

I recently found a way to sleep better though

Basically you bring down the table in front of you, put a pillow there, and sleep there just like on a desk in a classroom.

Haha that's how I sleep as well. Except my back always hurts so much afterwards.
Flying has really improved recently. I just went on an 8 hours flight and there were so many movies available and every music album imaginable.

Probably since she's home. Hopefully their will be another epic pic with the two most recent slam winners.

I really hope she attends, she looked like a Goddess last year in McQueen.

You think Serena will go to the States? I doubt. Wouldn't it be too much for her? She just finished the Wimby Champions Dinner...

I think she'll make appearance at ESPYS. The gala will take a place on nearest Wednesday and Maria will probably still be in USA so I don't see any obstacles to see her at the show. Also she has many nominations and chances to win at least one award.

MM_1257 · Jul 9th, 2012, 09:50 AM

There were rumours that Maria flies to London on 18th... Too late if you ask me.

Светльо · Jul 9th, 2012, 10:00 AM

Too Late

She has just spent the last 2.5 months on the road in Europe so she fucking deserves and NEEDS this break. In fact, it is too little of a break. The Games start on the 28th so if she indeed is making her way to London on the 18th, it even seems a bit early having in mind her whole schedule.
Obviously, sometimes as fans we do get carried away and forget that after all she is a normal human being who has its needs and not a machine for titles and stuff.
