So, it is time to do some traveling again! This trip is with a big group of people- all family but we will be 15 of us in Porto. We have been doing a big family trip now for 3 years and it is a lot of fun. There is a lot of planning that goes into it but in the end, it is really worth it.

We have been to Lisbon a few years ago and it was wonderful. I loved the city, the people and the food. It was an easy trip to take and a quick flight helped as well! While coming up with a destination for the family, we had a few things to keep in mind- it had to be moderate temperatures- nothing super hot… otherwise one can’t walk around and sightsee, it also had to have a nice town and preferably close to the ocean. Our first choice was Majorca but then with the really hot weather and super high airfares, we decided to look for another option. Porto came to mind as it was easy to get to, has good weather and it’s home to Port wine!!! Sign me up, I thought, especially since we had such a great time in Lisbon!

So we will be in Porto for 5 nights and then we go off to London and Edinburgh. We have been to both cities before but some of the family members have not… so for me it will nice to revisit the beautiful cities and eat some delicious food… oh and spend time with family!

Stay tuned….
