2025
- Only direct flights. Returning from Athens to Lisbon took forever and almost cost me an evening out (see Iberia Business: Athens Back To Lisbon)
2023
- No beer for breakfast (Espresso? Beer? Both?: My Madrid Morning Routine).
- A full bottle of wine is a bad idea (You Don’t Have to Order a Bottle of Wine).
- A 2 bedroom is unnecessary. One bedroom 1.5 bathroom is preferable (see Madrid Long-Term Rental: Show Up, Start Living at The Blueground)
- Do not go when cold (see Sunday Fun/Run Day: Spring in Madrid). It was chilly in February which made getting out challenging.
- Don’t take all food advice (see Don’t Take All Advice: Meh Restaurants in Madrid).
- No beer for breakfast. I still need to be productive (see Espresso? Beer? Both?: My Madrid Morning Routine).
- Pack smartly (see Moving Abroad (Temporarily): An Expert’s Guide for What to Pack).
- Beware of DCC (see Tap to Pay Abroad).
