Cheri, Nancy Jean & Donald;  Thank you for this information.  I’ve been telling 
my husband that we didn’t need a tour or tour guide but; he is the type that 
likes everything planned out.  Me, I’m the type that like to wing things.  
(opposite attract, right?! LOL)  I also mentioned to him that one can’t plan to 
far in advance as taking a boat from island to island can be unpredictable due 
to the weather conditions.  I am right, aren’t I?



Ok, obviously, I’ve now got to get busy and do some internet searching.  If 
anyone has the name of a good taxi driver/guide that speaks good English on any 
of the islands mentioned; Faial, Santa Maria, Sao Jorge or Flores or of a B 
they particularly liked please feel free to share that info. with me.  Please 
send it directly to me so as not to fill this list with information others 
aren’t interested in. aportugee @ yahoo.com (no spaces)

Hi Sam,



I agree with Don. Airbnb or HomeAway both have great houses in the Azores and 
local drivers are easy to find. Lot's of taxi's are bilingual and know how to 
show you the islands.



Come for a little visit to Pico!



Best to you,

Nancy Jean

their festa in July, or May, or or or. So you'll have to do some digging.
