Hooray!!!

I'm sure the weather will be spectacular come May, but well before that I am expecting a significant turn for the better. Last year we visited in March, and while we had a couple of cooler/rainy days, we also had several gorgeous, warm ones.

Sounds like more positives than negatives. XOXO

Portugal is also...a very nice base to explore cheaply all neighbors (Spain, southern France, Italy, Croatia, Greece).

Good choice! Six months isn't enough time. You haven't even begun to explore Portugal or Europe. If money isn't a factor, what's the rush to return here? You'll iron out the rest of the kinks/questions in time, so just hang in there and enjoy the adventure. Plus, you've gotten Josie's vote, and you know you don't want to disappoint her!

Wow. Aren’t we (Michele and I) happy that you will continue to call Lisbon your home. While reading, I was a bit apprehensive that your decision may be something else. Phew!! 🥰

That's thriling news. I'm happy for a very selfish reason -- I get to continue to vicariously enjoy your life. But mostly I'm happy for the two of you -- you worked so hard to make this all happen and you deserve to enjoy it for hopefully years and years. All the best to you!

I'm glad you both are in agreement about staying.

Wow, this sounds amazing. I'm so envious of the public transit. Car culture is the worst. And walking alone at night as a woman? Never met her.
