    SIM card for Spain and Portugal?

    We travel on business alot and using an international from our provider works well we can call and recieve calls from anywhere in the world and have access to the internet while walking. It is worth the $45 per month.

    Sending package to Porto

    Compare the cost of checking baggage to that of posting it. I have been carrying on my sticks in their case in my backpack with out any problem and I go overseas about 2x a year. Call the TSA or airlines and ask them. You can also purchase sticks less expensively in Europe.

    Making up questions just so you can post to make people jealous

    Absolutely there are good blogs out there, but most are on the more traveled routes.
