Everyone's in the Porto Palacio Hotel, so far!

Transport from the airport: The AeroBus is an STCP bus route that rapidly connects the main hotels of the city, the city centre and the airport, with fixed stops at Boavista and in Av. dos Aliados.

The Aerobus takes the shortest and most direct route, using main throughfares; it is of particular advantage to those who wish to travel to and from the airport on the same day, using the same ticket. Reserve your seat online http://www.stcp.pt/en/alugueres/aerobus.htm

I would like to pick people up, but can't manage everyone, due to work andalso because I live out of town.

I might book myself into the Porto Palacio for one or two nights, though!

You should be able to get it for £310 from bookings.com. So far everyone is staying there (it's got a pool/ spa, and is highly rated etc.) But there are other places nearby that are cheaper.

If you go to bookings.com, and choose Porto, the Boavista area, you'll find that well rated cheaper hotels include the Sheraton (£266), The Bessa (£177), or the Quality Inn (£166)

Hope this helps.

Or perhaps someone will suggest sharing?

The time is drawing closer... anyone else planning on coming?

I'm still waiting for some emails addresses of those who are coming, if possible,

It's very hot in Portugal at the moment, unseasonably so. I'm still in summer frocks, but usually it's mid-season weather in October. I'll update you nearer the time.

Not long to go... the weather has  been unseasonably hot (30ºc most days), but the forecasts are mixed. The best forecast says we'll start getting a few more clouds, slightly cooler, but the worst promises rain specifically for that weekend.
