I suggest a little book called "Just Enough Portuguese" from Amazon .It is small and fits in your pocket. It has sections for various things and at the beginning are common expressionsI will be heading to downtown São Paulo for a couple of weeks next month, mostly business.
I am hoping to have one weekend mostly free and would welcome any suggestions to those who have been. Please consider that I speak no Portuguese and very little Spanish.
Thanks in advance.
To celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary we splurged and spent a few nights at Napili Kai on Maui. Here was the view from our lanai (room balcony) - actually, a view of Lanai from our lanai! It was fabulous.
You did take the ferry over to Lanai's Menele Bay didn't you, rent a jeep and drive over to Ship Wreck Beach?

If you have time, catch a flight and go see Iguazu Falls....
This is actually on my bucket list; but, I doubt if I'll have the time to venture that far out on this trip, not anticipating nearly enough down time for my liking.
Amazing photos, Nemo. I am stealing your itinerary for next spring.
We just got back on April 24......wetter, but less tourists.When did you go? They said go in mid July to minimize the chances of rain but it's generally a wet region.
We didn't hit the north coast.......after years of a misspent juvenescence spent hanging around beaches, they, like me, have diminished in appeal.There is suppose to be a variety of terrains, like beach villages, mountainous regions, etc.
San Sebastian looks pricey.
You didn't ask for them, you didn't want them......but here are our boring pics anyway:

(As usual, click on first pic then use side arrows.)
I am going back to see if you shared information on how you arranged your trip.....would so love to do something similar....
Good thing I didn't get around to paying for the airfare, there has been a change of plans. Since our last family get together there is one new grandchild and another on the way, we don't live near each other so not everyone has been formally introduced. So, instead of an Italian get-away for 2, we are now hosting a family get together - one week cruising around the Caribbean Sea.Well, looks like DW and I will be going to Italy next year.

I'm not a big fan of boats and water but I do enjoy getting the family together, so this'll be a blast.
