It’s been a while – about 7 months – since the last adventure and the last blog post. This time we are off to Portugal. We drove from Pittsburgh to Toronto today to take advantage of the cheaper airfares. It took about 6 hours, not too bad taking into account two bathroom breaks and a bit of rush hour traffic around Hamilton, Ontario. Our flight tomorrow leaves (hopefully) at 6:40 pm with a 1 hour 20 minute connection in Frankfurt before we depart for Lisbon. I’m a bit anxious of the tight connection, especially since today’s flight to Frankfurt left 2 1/2 hours late!
We will be spending some independent travel time before we join an 11-day Rick Steve’s tour (“Heart of Portugal”). We will extend the tour by two days with more independent time in Porto (we are aficionados of port wine) before returning home.
Although we are staying at the airport Fairfield Inn, after we perused the restaurant’s limited and definitely unhealthy menu, we decided to stroll over to the neighboring Hilton Garden Inn for our evening repast. It’s a much newer hotel with a much better restaurant, in terms of both menu and ambience. So we toast to the beginning of our next Camino (no, we’re not walking the Camino Portuguese, although we are in way better physical shape than we were when we did the Camino in Spain two years ago!).
I hope that this beer will be prophetic and you will be entertained by this “witty traveler”.
