If I wasn’t an educator (or a doctor or a chef), I’d probably be a travel agent. I get great pleasure out of planning trips, especially when it’s a trip that includes one or more of my children. Later this month, Barry, Dana, Brett, Amanda and I will be heading off to explore Portugal. Our September blog will, no doubt, include posts direct from Portugal!
We are all great planners and we’ve had a shared Google doc going since January. We prefer to stay in houses or apartments all together, yet this trip we added in two nights in separate hotel rooms while in Lisbon (for a bit of a break from each other!!). We will fly into Porto for three nights, spend two nights in Lisbon, and then fly to the Azores for the remaining four nights of the trip. Since we are all good cooks (actually, great cooks in my opinion) and we LOVE to experience the food of different cultures, we each take a night to be in charge of the food . . . either to cook in or take take the group out. We also love excursions so we thoroughly research travel websites, blogs, and television episodes (Anthony Bordain in Portugal and Somebody Feed Phil in Portugal) and we have great adventures planned. Stay tuned!!
♥, Deb
