While many may dismiss this, it is actually an excellent point to ponder. Does anyone else hear the Rockwell music playing in the background?

Gentlemen,

I've been contemplating whether or not to create an MS Excel spreadsheet with all of the termas listed (in rows) and various columns for locations, hours, days of the week, costs, etc....

I recall once seeing a link on ISG (although not this thread necessarily) for a text document that was created to accompany the Pimsleur audio CD's (thus allowing one to read and see the...

Flying Continental from the US to GIG, you are allowed to check two bags. I always check one bag with clothes, shoes, etc. (large bag) and a small bag packed with Red Bull. I usually pack approx. 30...

perhaps the time of day had something to do with the price? i was there from approximately 3:30am to 6:30am (if memory serves me correctly) on a thursday night (or more appropriately friday...

I went to the Vanity Hotel (in Copa) one night with a girl who, upon entering, spoke to the guy at the front desk. She got us a room for 3 hours for R$40. As this was the first and only time I've...

Friggin' hilarious... yet so true!

Yes, one of my friends did exactly this during his first (and only) trip to Rio. The GDP he brought to his apartment claimed that she, while in the bathroom, received an urgent phone call about her...

Excellent return rate considering that 100 can be purchased for US$25.

In light of the aforementioned bad experiences of others, I’d like to humbly offer my two cents worth…

Fortunately, I have never had a bad experience in Rio (or elsewhere for that matter). I'm not...

Exec Talent,

While I always invest a little time shopping around for a good exchange rate (as it does pay for itself), a finger in the right direction certainly helps. Can you state where this...

Ingrid (my standard), Priscilla (a sweetheart and true GFE), Sara (lee), etc...

Also, the hairiest legs I've seen on a girl anywhere, EVER!

Ryjer,

Co-pilot sounds great. May 22nd – June 2nd are my dates (very similar to yours).

Yes, I’ve spent some time in Centro (more specifically BA 85, RB 156 and RB 185) and look forwards to...

Despite a few trips to Rio, and my overwhelming desire to do so, I have yet to experience VM. My hobbying has been confined to Copa and Centro (massagems, termas and takeout).

I must make my way...

Brazilman,

Thanks! I try to be selective in my mongering experiences. I don’t have any trouble meeting attractive girls at home so I attempt to maintain (if not exceed) that standard when...

Shemp,

Yes, those pics are of Babi. However, she is now married, living in Boston and has a baby girl.

Memories, and digital pics, will have to suffice (for now).

Dee Beeay,

I second Exec Talent’s post. My wingmen and I always make 583 NS our first stop when arriving in Rio. We drop off our luggage, grab some food and casually make our way there (usually...

A few more...

Various pics from previous trips...

More sites on the streets, in termas, on the beach, etc.

Sorry gents, not the bar. Rather, from various apartments I've rented. Aside from the "entertainment" which we all enjoy, it is a very scenic landscape.

As I begin preparations for my next trip, I am taking (and sharing) a nostalgic look down memory lane. While I do realize that it is only a two year lane for myself, I do have a few trips (and...

The source of the information is not my wingman but rather a friend of his who travels to RJ quite frequently and is a fellow monger. My apologies if the information is inaccurate. My goal, as is...

This article is in English (with interesting commentary at the end).

Ryjer,

I've never been there during high season. May-September is my time. I concur... cold, hot and cheap!
