I was too busy on my Still The Best Trip to post in September. I was gone for so long that a reader wrote, “I am in TPOL withdrawal! Will he return?.” Well, I’m back, for now (see TPOL’s Back! ). Here is the best from September:
Playa de Las Americas, Tenerife: Well That Sucked
I thought that Playa de Las Americas was going to be a unique party place. It was not.
Michelin Sushi Tenerife: $375 Worth Spent?
The next morning I woke wondering if $375 for sushi was worth it.
Iberia San Juan to Madrid: Una Vez Mas
Iberia is consistently great and convenient.
Ritz Carlton Tenerife: We’ll Make It Better, The Second Time Around
I will not be returning to Tenerife. If you do go, go to the Ritz Carlton and stay put.
Stuck on a Deserted Island? TPOL’s Trouble in Cabo Verde
Upon checking in, I was told that inter-island flights fill up quickly and are unreliable when they are available. I was also told that the ferry is a nightmare, is unpredictable, uncomfortable, and can take a whole day. My heart sank.
En Route: Iberia’s Domestic Lounge Madrid
This was a nice place to relax and refuel before my flight to Tenerife.
Binter Canarias: The Official Tenerife to Cabo Verde Flight Review
Have you flown Binter Canarias? I am going to guess no.
