Planning our trip to Brazil, visiting Fortaleza

Hi Trini&Luis,

Anything about transportation we could possibly tell you is going to go right out the window since you're talking about the period of World Cup. This country is completely unprepared to host mega-events, public transportation can't even handle the passenger loads now so it's going to be Hell during the Cup. Driving will be a nightmare too since the streets and highways can't handle day-to-day traffic, much less the kind of traffic flow that the World Cup is going to generate.

Hope you've already got accommodations in those cities or you're going to be fresh out of luck on that score too, sad to say.

Hi Trini,

Good for you gal!!! The safety tips will be of excellent help to you in making your trip more enjoyable and without any serious incidents.

So, exactly where in the "Lone Star State" do you live?

You might also want to read my other posting  "FOOD AND DRINK IN BRAZIL - AVOIDING PROBLEMS" so you won't have to worry about “Montezuma's Revenge” spoiling your vacation either.
