Well, it’s been <mumble, mumble> months since our Portugal trip (long enough that I’ve been on a few other trips since!), so I figured I should FINALLY wrap it up with another post about our last day in Porto. Even though this trip was only a week long, I think as we’ve gotten older, we’ve […]

Allow me to start this by calling out the fact that this is my 300th post here at That One Guy Who Travels! When I started this blog a decade ago, I’m not sure how long I planned to stick with it, but I’m very glad to have had the chance to share so many […]

It’s not often that rain/weather stuff totally waylays us on a trip, but the weather we experienced after getting to Porto sure tried its damndest to make that happen. Ugh!

Although the weather improved greatly after the our first stop, Mother Nature still has some […]

It’s the end of our first full day here in Portugal (or rather, it WAS when I started this post, but now it’s the end of our second full day) and we’re back at the hotel after a nice day out in the sun. It was actually warmer than I anticipated, which made me very […]

Let’s see – it’s not even 6:30 PM on a Friday evening and I’m about ready to pass out from tiredness. Now, you might say that’s just a regular Friday for me, but you’d be wrong (I do go to bed somewhat early, but not THAT early!). In fact, it’s because I’m back in Europe! […]
