It went! And the person I know posting about it on fb says it was magnificent!
Fabulous - thank you! We just PIF for August so this is great to hear!
Just checking if anyone on this board has been on this trip…starting to pack & wondering what is the best outfit/footwear for kayaking on the Douro. The picture in handbook for that day shows flip flops & baseball caps (& a sweater - must have been taken in March!). Also not sure if we are given an opportunity to change after kayaking and before the cooking class.
Ooo! That's a really good question! Although I'll be there in May - but I'm going to assume the answer will be similar.
Well I will let you know!
Our adventure just ended yesterday. I’ll try to post some more details later today (we are in London for a week now), but we flew United out of Newark. The nonstop into Porto is notoriously delayed (3 hours isn’t unusual according to the guides). We ended up flying out a day earlier and flew United/Swiss Air through Zurich and were on time. Zurich may be the nicest, most efficient airport I have ever been to. We were upgraded to business class an hour before our flight but the premium economy seats looked nice.
Thanks so much for the info (including about the non-stop, because I *was* tempted by that!) I'll take a look at United. I don't fly them domestically, but I have heard their international flights are not bad. When you get a chance, if you could let me know what kind of plane you flew from Newark, that would also be helpful! (I don't think all Premium Economy is equal!)
