Oh crap! We're flying out of OPO on Saturday afternoon! Maybe we should give ourselves some more time? 🤔 Amsterdam isn't going anywhere!💁🏼♀️ Thanks for heads-up! Great video Josh! ⭐⭐
Honestly, as much as I dread those early morning departures, I realized when I was there It was the best time (0400) to be at the airport (both OPO and most especially LIS) because no else is. 😄
Kalie and I are HUGE Arsenal fans. It's a problem. 😅 Our daughters first live match was Arsenal this year and then the USMNT in Dusseldorf. We'll take a beer and chat AFC...COYG 🍻 - Josh & Kalie
It's no different than flying/driving from Pittsburgh to Boston. In both cases, you can drive, take a bus, or fly. And in both cases, you'll probably chose a plane flight, as driving wouldn't be pleasant... and you'll have to deal with airport security.
Honestly, people who don't expect delays in the US can potentially run into the same issues. I'm in NYC, and even though we have Amtrak and major highway routes anything can (and does) happen. Last year I booked a cruise out of Ft. Lauderdale; I was able to arrive the day before and was glad I did because there were weather delays the following day, and there were people who thought they would arrive that morning for a 6 p.m. departure, and even though the departure was delayed by nearly two hours due to the weather some people missed the boat (and the next port was a week later in Funchal, which we skipped due to Covid!).
@@expatseverywhereexplores that's what it was! The cruise continued on doing British Isles cruises. I disembarked in London and spent time with my daughter (uni student) and then flew back to NY.
Yes, when Kalie and I lived in Madrid, we were dating at the time and she lived as an au pair in the northern part of the "Madrid" and I was in the city. We traveled to Valencia with some friends and it was the place where I first got the courage to say "I love you!" to Kalie. A year after our move to Spain, we got engaged, a year after that, we got married, and nearly a decade after that, we had a kid. 😊 - Josh
I would love to see you turn this concept into a race between yourself and another person or two. Starting in Porto, who can get to Valencia the fastest, under a certain budget. Invite me. I'll challenge you to a race across Western Europe...
Nope. We just assume since it was a hybrid that the gas started getting used a lot more when the battery was at E. When we got the car the battery (electric) wasn't fully charged. We ended up spending around €75 in gas round trip from Valencia to Murcia. - Josh
Where have you been within Europe like this?
Lisbon.........it's complete madness at that airport this past week. I understand from the flight crew, it's kinda like that everyday. 😂
I have never seen the security line like that at OPO!😮
Me either! It was crazy. We've flown out of OPO more than a dozen times at this point. - Josh

Agree! Also, early morning flights are least likely to delay😁
Omg Josh I can’t believe you had Arsenal jacket lol it’s my team. You’re the best. I’ll buy a beer for this

Sounds like a transatlantic repositioning cruise!

But who won the match?
0-0, we ALL lost! - Josh
Josh, was your daughter named after the Spanish city?
Yes, when Kalie and I lived in Madrid, we were dating at the time and she lived as an au pair in the northern part of the "Madrid" and I was in the city.

@@expatseverywhereexplores That’s a great story Josh! 💕

Ready...set...go!
Winner buys paella! 🥘 - Josh
Did you find out what the deal was with the car?
Nope. We just assume since it was a hybrid that the gas started getting used a lot more when the battery was at E. When we got the car the battery (electric) wasn't fully charged. We ended up spending around €75 in gas round trip from Valencia to Murcia. - Josh
