Ooops! Did it mess anything up for you guys? Lol No, but we were worried that you wouldn’t want us to listen in on your household background noises. Lol. Haha no worries. I have three children 6 and under and I know you all are very understanding! 😂 |

I have no idea where E went when she got out of bed. H says she came downstairs and he sent her back up to bed, but she's not in her bed, DD2's bed, the guest bed, our room? I hope where ever she's hidden herself she's at least sleeping 🤷🏻♀️ C went missing one day and we were FREAKING OUT. We looked all over the house and couldn't find her. She was in our bed, with the blankets over her head, sound asleep. This was well after she had stopped napping daily. She took 5 years off of my life that day. H eventually found her asleep in the playroom tent. |

I was going through the house pulling curtains aside in case she was hiding. Then I heard very soft snoring. |

I need you to tell us that they run Parliament nude or something bc everything you tell us makes it sound so amazing The minimum wage is very low. It needs to be raised desperately. There certainly are issues, but even before Trump we were planning to move here because it's such a great little spot in the world. |

Also nude parliament would be super awkward for me because my aunt is a member. 😂😂😂

I CAM ACCOMMODATE ALL THE FAMILIES! And even if you would like a bit more privacy, my neighbor and friend has am Airbnb that goes for 49€ a night in peak season. It is a 2 bed lovely spot with kitchen. Portugal is just SO CHEAP when it come to Europe. |

blurnette989, what would you say an average day in Portugal would cost a family of 4 if we like to eat and drink? Like, if we came for a week what do you think we would need to budget? I’m not sure I could travel by air for 13-16 hours with my kids just yet but I am honestly considering it.

I’m not sure I could travel by air for 13-16 hours with my kids just yet but I am honestly considering it. This would in part depend on where you go in Portugal. Lisbon is pricier thoughts still cheaper than like going to NYC. June through August is the high season, so it's also a little cheaper and calmer in May/September. I live near a cute beach town about 30 minutes north of Lisbon and here I would do the break down like this- Lisbon is probably 25% more expensive? Hotel or Airbnb: 120€/night high season 75-100€/night off season Breakfast - 10-12€ for a family of four Lunch with wine - 25-45€ Dinner with wine and dessert - 35-65€ Then money if you wanted to tours/museums/castles etc. One thing that can be pricey is gas/diesel and a car rental if you can't drive stick. Automatic cars are pricier to rent, but if you stay in Lisbon or in Porto up north, you wouldn't need a car. You could easily spend more if you wanted but for the above you wouldn't be missing out and you'd enjoy Portugal thoroughly. |

I am not sure I can convince my husband to take our kids that far, yet. But I am putting this at the top of the list for international travel when we are ready for that with them! |
