Guest lurkerspeaks Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Departure in just 10 more days.. weather is looking great leading up to my trip... TodayMay 27 77°F 66 °F Sunny CHANCE OF RAIN: 0% WIND: S at 9 mph Details MonMay 28 80° 68 ° Partly Cloudy CHANCE OF RAIN: 20% WIND: E at 8 mph Details TueMay 29 80° 69 ° Sunny CHANCE OF RAIN: 0% WIND: ESE at 7 mph Details WedMay 30 83° 70 ° Sunny CHANCE OF RAIN: 0% WIND: S at 6 mph Details ThuMay 31 77° 69 ° Scattered Showers CHANCE OF RAIN: 30% WIND: SW at 9 mph Details FriJun 1 74° 68 ° Showers CHANCE OF RAIN: 60% WIND: ESE at 10 mph Details SatJun 2 75° 67 ° Showers CHANCE OF RAIN: 60% WIND: SSW at 8 mph Details SunJun 3 76° 68 ° Sunny CHANCE OF RAIN: 0% WIND: SE at 6 mph Details MonJun 4 76° 67 ° Scattered Showers CHANCE OF RAIN: 60% WIND: SSE at 9 mph Details TueJun 5 74° 66 ° Scattered Showers CHANCE OF RAIN: 60% WIND: SW at 11 mph Details Print 10 Day Forecast Monthly Forecast Unfortunately, the dollar slipped a little bit for the weekend numbers, but it is still right at $1 = R$2... My flights are looking to be sold out .. which seems to be the norm lately, but it makes for a more uncomfortable flight. My itinerary is a two and a half hour flight from Phx to IAH, then a 10 1/2 hour flight from IAH to GIG. I hope I am able to get some sleep. My insomnia usually prevents me from dozing off for more than a few minutes at a time. It is rough trying to get my fat ass comfortable in a coach seat for that long. Maybe I will get lucky and have a cute brazilian boy next to me who likes to cuddle. LOL. I can't wait to get back to Rio. I want to be a Brazilianairre, so freakin bad...

If you don't get that cute Brazilian guy sitting next to you I hope at worse you get a tiny 12 y/o who doesn't take up much space and is old enough not to cry during the flight yet young enough not to talk much to you and drive you crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Four days and counting til departure.. The dollar is once again back over the 2:1 mark.. temps are staying around 80 degrees, but rain has been on and off in Rio.. (We had a record for June 1 here in Phoenix of 111 yesterday). Gotta do some last minute shopping to get ready for the trip..The flight appears to be pretty much sold out, so little to no chance of getting any empty seat next to me.. Good thing I managed to lose 20 lbs over the last couple of months. Every little bit helps when it comes to squeezing my fat ass in those damn coach seats.

Guest FourAces Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 lurker check out seatguru.com it will let you know the best seats to select for your flights. i've found it useful in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 thanks. i use that site as well. but in coach. there are no "good" seats.. just some less desirable than others. I find it funny that they list the many window seats as "less desirable" because of some underseat storage issues, but I would much prefer a window seat where you have something to lean against over a mid or aisle seat when you are making an overnight flight.

I am ready for an all you can eat smorgasmbord Don't overdo it, Lurker. I don't want to be a spoiler, but when we had that hot Festa II in 2003, some of the guys who journeyed to Rio got sick from their overly indulgence that the various menus provided.

Guest lurkerspeaks Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 24 hours from now, i will be on my plane, having just left Houston, traveling towards Rio de Janeiro.

Members Lucky Posted June 7, 2012 Members Share Posted June 7, 2012 Can you picture a very excited lurkerspeaks at the airport, wishing and a hoping that his flight was landing instead of taking off? It must be an exciting moment, having anticipated it for so long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest tomcal Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I have been in Brazil for the past week, first in Porto Alegre and since Sunday in Rio, and if the past 6 days are any indication, then Lurker will be having a great time!!! the only thing is the weather is not cooperating for his arrival, today is cloudy and chance of showers. guess he will have to stick to indoor activities...
