Totally off topic--I am thinking about travaling to Portugal next spring, rent a car and see the country. Anyone have good recommendations for travel agents in Portugal who I work with?

Hoping for the Stones to play DC so I can see them on more time. My guitar teacher is teaching me to play Keep up Blues. He says it relatively easy, but we'll see.

Thanks

Chris

Chris, you really need to separate this one thread into 4 separate threads, as they deal with completely different topics. You haven't asked, but glad to help:

1. "OT-Traveling in Portugal" (you've covered this one nicely, even adding the OT for those that might not have known you weren't going to reference the stones).

2. "OT-My email crashed and I lost the name of a travel agent in Greece" - uninteresting true, but you may get some responses from the IORR Greek contingent.

3. "Hope the Stones Play in DC!" - you'll get a bunch of thumbs up from the Washington people, political types, but the Baltimore Stones fans will have you for lunch.

4. "My Guitar teacher is teaching me Keep up Blues". The guitar nerds will weigh in heavily on this one. My prediction for a runaway thread.

LOL at the answer above


Why use a travel agent? Just buy a ticket, rent a car, get a map and go.

Ha ha.
Hilarious

Ok treaclefingers You know any good travel agents in Portugal???? I live in Dc and want to see them one more time.

I have only been to Lisbon and LOVED IT! I met a tour operator while in Lisbon and he recommended going to the hill country and taking a winery cruise. I am sure if you look on line you will find something. I spend five days in Lisbon and never ran out of things to see. And the food. The food is amazing! And if you like Port make sure you save room in your luggage to take some back with you.

Ok, edited the message to meet treaclefingers standards. I am still looking for a good travel agent in Portugal and someone who knows how to play guitar.

I love Lisbon as well. Fantastic picturesque city. And Fado music that will make you cry.

One place in Europe I wanted to go to, but never quite got there. Would love to though, good luck with it!

Beautiful tiny country, you'll like it. Speaking Spanish or French will help if Portuguese is not your forte.

Beware of forest fires in the summer, though...

Have you seen the video of Ana Moura, the Portugese Fado singer, with the Stones. I played it for my wife and she immediately went out a bought a Ana Moura tape. We now have three of Ana Moura, fado is beautiful music.
