I was going to go to Tunisia, but with the travel advisories still in place, and ticket prices going up, I've rescheduled, and instead will decompress from nearly six months in Asia (TRs on the Asia board) in London and Lisbon.

I wondered if any fodorites would also be in Lisbon in early March and would like to GTG for a drink (port, maybe?) or a meal. (lobo_mau?)

J'y suis, j'y reste.
Very happy to know you are coming. I'll keep in touch.

Wish I could. One of my favourite cities. Seen this? Have a look at the street art for me.

Hi lobo - I made it, and am at the Residencial Florescente again. Wifi was out yesterday and is barely functional today. Loving the weather!

Any chance of seeing you and your wife? At the port place, maybe? I hadn't realized I was arriving in the middle of a school holiday - the line to buy tickets at Rossio was so long I postponed revisiting Sintra and went to Oriente instead.

Have a nice vacation, Thursdaysd! We stayed at RFlorescente at end of December and loved its location. The WiFi was not good at all in the room, but I went in the lobby where I could use it on my laptop or use their PC computers there.
I understand that this is not your first visit in Lisbon, so that means that you love it, as we do.

valtor - oh,yes - I have a TR titled "Loving Lisbon" up on this site! Turns out that tomorrow is "Carnival" - I originally intended to be in Tunisia this week, so hadn't researched holidays in Lisbon....
