Seetheworld - We'll be there end of May/early June for about 2 weeks. I'll be sure to let you know about our experiences.
I finally have our itinerary mapped out and right now I'm working on scheduling our flights... We were going to just use buses to get ahead, but then decided on renting a car for part of our trip when we're outside of Lisbon and Porto.

Well, my computer implodes and I leave you all alone for a few days and look what happens - so much discussion without me. Hello all those whom have joined us recently, just so you know I drive a battered old Land Rover Discovery - I like the high view point and the fact that unless a truck hits you you should be okay. I've driven here for almost a decade and am still here - I think you must be more worried as a pedestrian than driver.
Lobo I have seen your email (having to access online) but if anyone else has emailed previously everything has been chewed up in my old PC, so Sher and everyone please resend anything you many have already sent - I do not have records of your email addresses or anything.
Right, Lizzy is complaining, have to hand the laptop back, I'll check in tomorrow.
Take care all, I'm glad to be back.

Yeah Lobo, not only did the damn PC buy the farm but also my contact from Benfica hasn't managed me to get a ticket for tonight. Hasn't PT got a big executive bx you can squeeze us both into? Otherwise beer and crisps and the TV tonight. But following on from recent dismal results I can only predict a Liverpool win - 3-1 to them. And I think should we lose vs Porto this weekend Koeman will face the chop...

Well. I am good for another one.
I am waiting to hear from the places that I have emailed. So far only one person has responded to my enquiry.
I would like to eliminate the first group and start on the backup.

Lobo, I hope you are not so premature in everything you do! ;-) I still have a million things to post but what with a knackered PC it's slowly slowly. With something new it stays current, and builds up a sense of anticipation. Lisbon has to be worth at least 300...

Hi. I got an immediate repy from the apartment in Lisbon, but I have not made up my mind. The only reason is that it really is more apartment than the two of us need and it works out to be about $120. per night.
I wrote to Secret Places about a place in the Alentejo. I used them before and I am curious as to why they have not answered. They are usually prompt.
I wrote to a seaside resort that
lobo_mau gave me the website of but that was just today. But before he sent me the website I had only found one other apartment in that area and they have not responded.
We are planning (as of now) to spend at least two nights in a Pousada.
I just like having an apartment. After touring all day, if we do not feel like going out to dinner we can just relax.
I also wrote to a unique village in Borba which is the self catering unit.

Welcome to the pasty seetheworld. Your abbreviations are welcome to join and post any Qs they may have. Lots of good advice to be found here and more to come, not just from me either.
Benfica winning at Anfield - now that will be cause for celebrations Lobo - and now how's about dinner next week? (Finally) And then providing a restaurant trip report...

Only a couple more to go - I'll graciously allow someone else to claim it, I had the first and hundredth.
