Hi, I currently live in Washington D.C., USA. I don't plan on retiring for over 6 years, but thought I should start doing my homework now by exploring places I might want to retire to.
I wanted to visit Portugal for a week late summer/early fall 2015. I have several questions.
1. When is the cheapest time to fly? Flights from the U.S. to Europe seem to be terribly expensive right now.
2. Where are good places, in Portugal, for expats to retire to?
3. Which airport should I fly into and how do I then travel to other destinations I might want to consider for retirement? (How is the best way to travel within Portugal?)
4. Can you recommend forums to look for accommodations while visiting?
5. Is there a travel agent you can recommend to help me plan my trip?
6. Any other advice you might have for a first time visitor considering Portugal for retirement?
Thanks! I look forward to participating with the group!
