Business Class is excellent - although the plane seems noisier as a result of carbon fibre design. In economy class, it has been dubbed the "Nightmareliner". Originally designed by Boeing to have eight seats across in economy, most Airlines including United have discovered they can squeeze in 9 by installing a 3-3-3 config. They do this by reducing the width of the seat from 18" on board the 777 or 767 to 17.3" on the 787 Nightmareliner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted March 15, 2016 Share Posted March 15, 2016 In just 18 hours, I will be boarding the plane on my way to Rio, by way of Houston. Have plans to meet Tomcal for lunch at 12:30 on Wednesday. As the song says.. So many men, so little time.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members RA1 Posted March 17, 2016 Members Share Posted March 17, 2016 It is said of being a pilot that it is hours and hours and hours of boredom followed by a few minutes of extreme excitment (as during an emergency). I train for the excitment but prefer the boredom. Best regards, RA1 AdamSmith 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I added the crowded photo (above link) for purposes of humor (I hope). As is describe in post # 28 up thread (which is accurate), the seats in this aircraft are smaller than are seats in other Boeing long-range aircraft.

Members torogen Posted March 18, 2016 Members Share Posted March 18, 2016 Lurker, Go ahead and bore the rest of us I'm happy to participate in/bear witness to your anticipation, but I'm definitely excited to hear your on-the-ground reporting. I'm excited myself for my trip, which is less than a month away now. I'll be writing my own report soon enough. I dont want to bore the likes of Badboy with my boring writings.

Members Gotti Posted March 18, 2016 Members Share Posted March 18, 2016 Hi Luker, first time I address you on this forum, but you can be sure there is a sizable audience eager to hear about your staying in Brazil, the fact you were away for 3 years makes it even more compelling, you certainly will perceive changes that other frequent travellers would be oblivious to. I can't figure out how anyone intersted on the Brazilian sauna scene would pass on your input. I will be PMeing you and would be very happy with any report. You are right about this forum, is going down down, who could do something about it is not willing to take the right action, maybe is the reason your friend Tomcal is not a regular member anymore and despite the fact that he is currently in Brazil we will not have his outstanding insights. What a waste! torogen and TotallyOz 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post TotallyOz Posted March 18, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted March 18, 2016 How about actually posting something that you have done that is interesting.... I can not be the only person that is wondering why you keep giving updates about NOTHING.... I get it, you are super excited and hyped but please consider your audience and post something interesting I am not sure why you even posted this. It is rude and unnecessary. You are hereby suspended for 10 days. Your account will be unlocked then. Until then, take this time out as a way to try to come to grips as to why you find the need to constantly post this drivel. I dont want to bore the likes of Badboy with my boring writings. If anyone cares to know about my trip, feel free to PM me. In my humble opinion, It is attitudes like Badboys that are contributing to the demise of this board. I hope your skin is thicker than that. It is sad that you would let one person who posts something a bit queenie deter you from posting about your trip. However, that is your call. We all hope you reconsider. torogen, JAYBLK, JKane and 2 others 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest lurkerspeaks Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 ok here goes. First of all, let me say that I am typing this on a new tablet with keyboard which I am not used to, so if I have a typo or two, please don't send out the typing police. I arrived Wed morning. The weather was on the warm side, with overcast, cloudy skies. I made it thru customs quickly and got a cab to take me to my apartment in Ipanema. Traffic was already pretty bad. It took a little over an hour to get from the airport to Ipanema. My apartment building is directly in front of the General Osorio metro station. Literally 20 steps from the front door of my building to the stairway down the metro. The apartment, while a small one bedroom, is clean and comfortable. The price vs location cannot be beat. Met up with Tomcal for lunch at my favorite "baby chicken" place, Galitos grill. We talked and got caught up over lunch. Following a leisurely lunch and a stop at Citibank ATM, we parted ways to rest up for the evenings adventure. I came back to my empty apartment, while Tom went to his "un empty" apartment. I won't say anymore on that subject since I don't have his permission to tell....LOL By 3:30 or so, it started pouring down rain. Since my apartment has wifi, I logged into Grinder to see what comes up.. Lots of guys on there, many with $$ involved. I changed my profile to "Programma?" to see what would come of it. I got lots of messages from guys, some cute, some not so cute. So far though, I haven't responded to any of them yet. Wednesday night, we met up at Pointe 202. Acyr, the owner of Meio Mundo, also purchased the Pointe not too long ago. He has done a little painting, but other than that, the place is still in need of a major facelift. Leaky roof from the rain, ripped, peeling leatherette couches, AC in need of maintenance. Lucky for most of us, the physical building is not what we come to Rio for...It started off slow, but as the evening progressed, more and more boys showed up. The current entry fee is $R57. Seems high from a Brazilian standpoint, but with the current exchange rate that is about $15 USD. The going rate is $R100 for a programma (about $37 USD). Still all types of boys, young, old, tall, short, smooth, hairy, and most, but not all, have big dicks. I am going to post in sections, so I don't accidently delete my own writings. If anyone has any specific questions, please feel free to ask them and I will answer to the best of my ability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Alaskabear Posted March 19, 2016 Members Share Posted March 19, 2016 Thanks for your update! I would be curious what the going rate is for guys off of grindr vs the saunas. Let us know if you take any of them up on offer. . Axiom2020 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
floridarob Posted March 19, 2016 Share Posted March 19, 2016 guys I talked to on grindr are asking 200 reis....

I am glad you survived your ride on the Nightmareliner I appreciate your taking the time to begin your adventures in writing while you're there. Continue to enjoy yourself and take in "The Marvelous City," again after a three year hiatus. My last time in Rio after ten previous trips was in 2011, and I truly yearn to return in 2017. Currently, I'm mentally planning! -Axiom- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lurkerspeaks Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 On a funny note- the buses here have signs on the front which say where they are headed. When I first arrived, I noticed several which read "Troncal". At first, I thought it said Tomcal, and that they needed buses to bring all the boys to Tom's apartment.
