I posted here last yr and got some good recommendations for a trip I took to Switzerland and Italy. Actually learned about Canyoning here and ended up doing that in Switzerland (loved it).

So now I'm looking for any info/ suggestions for Portugal for the wife and I. Leave in a couple weeks and will be mostly in the Lisbon area. Here is what we do have planned:

Sun- Arrive in Lisbon, travel to Sesimbra. Staying there till Wed.
Mon- Relax on the beach, do some exploring/ hiking
Tue- Go Coasteering (similar to Canyoning) in the morning.
Wed- Head back to Lisbon
Thu- Do a wine tour during the day. Possibly go to Bullfight that evening.
Fri- Spend time exploring the city.
Sat- Return flight

All that said, any must do in these areas, places to eat/ drink or items to add to schedule.

Back from our trip and had an amazing time.

The weather cooperated, especially in Switzerland. Only rained one of the five days we were in Switzerland. I think I could move to Lucerne. We did the canyoning Chli Schliere while in Interlaken and had a blast, would highly recommend to anyone.

Enjoyed Cinque Terre also. Ate seafood every night and saw all 5 towns by land and boat and was a great way to relax after being on the go the entire time in Switzerland.

Appreciate all the recommendations from everyone.

We are just flying out of Milan on our last day, so don't plan to do much there. Will likely just grab dinner there on our last night and fly out the next morning.

My one concern for Switzerland right now, especially for our Interlaken 3 days is the weather. I'm hoping for enough clearing on a few mornings or afternoon to get up in the higher elevations and have views and time to hike.

I've had 3:

First: 125 yd, PW, Gettysvue CC: playing with my HS golf coach, two-tiered green. Ball hit 10 ft short of pin, one hopped and rolled into the cup.

Second: 172 yd, 6 iron, Pine Lakes Golf Course: Playing in intramural's at UT Jr yr. Ball tracked the pin the entire shot, hit 3 inches to the right beyond the pin and spun back into the hole.

Third: 105 yd SW, Myrtle Beach Par 3 course, hit the pin on the fly and dropped in.

Had all three of them in a 5 yr span and haven't had one since... 12 yrs and counting.

One killed in Meigs County gunbattle over a stolen fighting roosterLINK

Timothy Johnson had gone to Larry Johnson’s mobile home about 2 a.m. and confronted Larry Johnson, accusing him of stealing his gamecock

Larry Johnson told a bystander his uncle had drawn a gun and that he was trying to grab the gun when he was shot in the chest under his left arm, according to the news release. Larry Johnson “retreated and returned fire multiple times with a pistol he was carrying,” according to the release.

The fighting rooster was unharmed.

Yep, caught a little of their show at Bonnaroo a few years back, but kinda forgot about them. Then turned back onto them this yr. I will see them in Knoxville at The Bijou on Sept. 7th!

I have 3! All in a 5 yr time span in college:

1st: 125 yd Wedge

2nd: 165 yd 6-iron

3rd: 110 yd SW

Haven't come real close since, going on 10 yrs.

I agree, it's not the shoe by itself. Yet the feedback my body and legs would receive when training with a minimus shoe that helped me to make changes to my form.

I've enjoyed racing much more the past few yrs since making the switch.

I've been using New Balance minimus MR00's the last few years for training and races. Has helped me get away for a heel strike...

"The engineer told police they observed a man standing on the tracks “flipping them off” before attempting to jump out of the way at the last second."

"Police later followed footprints in the snow from the railroad tracks to a nearby residence where the man was found, along with marijuana plant and psychedelic mushrooms growing in a jar."

Get ready to wait up to 8 hours in line. Get ready for it to be hotter than hell. Hope you're in shape for walking about 5 miles a day

Depending on what time you enter the festival grounds, they have vastly improved the wait time. Last yr went in on Thu morning and had a 30 min wait. Also was not to far from Centeroo, 10 min walk max.

I'll give you the heat though, drink plenty of water during the day. I honestly drink almost all water till about 4-5 in the late afternoon, then will start on the alcohol. Also if you camp in a tent, be prepared to woken up by 7am with the sun/ heat.

saw this. Hope it holds off. I'm in corral 11. You hear about the tightened security?

---

I'm in corral 3. I've heard there will be more security at the start and finish lines and with the bag check.

You're right, Leak was awful. The only reason Fulmer kept playing him was to get his brother. Didn't they even split Leak out some to try to keep him on the field?

Yeah, I was at CJ's first start at UGA for Clausen who was injured. Fulmer did all he could to keep CJ on the field to get Chris, but finally had to bench him.
