Lorraine, I'm leaving to Portugal and Azores in two weeks. I will stay in Terceira for one month; João Ventura is helping me with my stay and car. I want to drive so I will feel free to visit whatever I want, and stay at those places as much as I can to do my research, take photos and write a journal. As Celeste Perry has said previously, João Ventura is very reliable.
I think travelling to Azores by boat is not worth, its too far way, almost 1000 miles/1500 km from the mainland. Sata is the best from US (west or east coast - I'm on east coast). Unless you want to experience how people were used to go back and fourth from there. I have atravel agent in Terceira who planned all my flights. She manages to find the best dates and deals. If you want her contact I can give to you. I use skype to talk to her. Last, but not the least, there is a website where you can search for local places to stay; they are private homes or rooms for rent all over the world, and as well as in Azores. Lots of reviews from each place. airbnb.com If you want any additional information while I'm there or when I come back, feel free to contact me.
