Well, it happened! I travelled to Portugal. Here are a few pictures of my business trip and a few things I learned.
1. Always ask if your ticket has been purchased - Despite having a reservation number, I got to the airport and travel hadn't issued my ticket. Had a panic moment. So did my boss.
2. Always ask if production gave you the right format. Got to Portugal and the tech guy was like why did you bring this tape? My response that is what the filmmaker gave me. Apparently there are no D5 players in Portugal.
3. Red wine in Portugal is really, really good and I hate red wine.
4. Portuguese custard tarts are super tasty.
5. Beware of resturants....this one we ate at, tried to force us to pay for our dinner in cash. Like who has $260 euros in cash?? Luckily, they were no match for Nicola and her power of reason...then why do you have Mastercard symbol on your door?....Yah, tax evaders.
6. Why have one mule when you can pay for two? Me and Bay's guy.
7. When in Europe, its a rule that you must drink heavily, especially when surrounded by other heavily drinking Europeans....cuz you must make America proud.....and just when you think you are done.......there is always more glass.
8. Beware of Irish girls and their eyes.
9. Don't underestimate the power of Justin Bieber.
10. Machine guns in the Paris airport are scary.
11. Hamburgers suck in every single European country I have been to so far. I am going to stop ordering them.
12. Sometimes you just have to dip into the minibar.
13. Getting free (all region) Blueray discs doesn't do a person any good when they don't own a Blueray player.
14. Next time hubby must come. Cuz I missed him!
