It is time for another AOH adventure and this time we’re heading for Portugal. We’ll spend a week in Porto in the north and then a week in Lisbon. Super excited as this is our first trip to Portugal. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to get on the same transatlantic flight so we’ll meet up in Paris at CDG and then fly to Lisbon together.
This has been such a crazy year leading up to this holiday that I have had little time to do much research and was fortunate to have a flight attendant from Charleston to JFK that goes there all the time. She pretty much hung out with me (think the other passengers were a little miffed) and told me all kinds great info...especially a little off the beaten path places (my favorite kind of places). We did watch the Lisbon episode of Somebody Feed Phil when I was in Atlanta a couple weeks ago and if you’ve never watched his series on Netflix, you’re missing out...hysterical and full of great info! One of the places on my list from the show was Ponto Final in Lisbon and it ended up being one of the places my flight attendant mentioned. It was on our list so now we definitely have to check it out.
This trip we’ll be going all AirBnB and have found some really great places at unbelievable prices. AirBnB also has experiences so we’ve signed up for a couple. One involves several hours sailing and Port tasting so we figured that has to be pretty good. Julie is a big Port fan and I’ve recently started trying them out and must say they are rather tasty.
Well it is about time to lay back my seat and get comfy for the flight to Paris. Until later...Va com Deus! Not sure yet if that is a Portuguese saying or a Brazilian saying as my friends from Brazil say to me every time we say good-bye...guess we will learn soon.
