That hotel is some 2km 1 1/4 mile from the old part of town.
I will be at work (in a hostel downtown, actually) Wednesday-Sunday, 7am-3.30pm
I'll be staying at Ibis Hotel Lisboa Jose Malhoa. I don't know Lisbon
One month too early for me - would have LOVED to meet you Laurie. You won't be back in June by any chance, will you?
I will tell you by private message.
The boss my read this and maybe, just maybe, I might recommend you another place to stay
In any case, I only work there for short periods of time as I do the regular staff's holidays. I will only work there for two weeks now, starting tomorrow. But I am very familiar with the hostel "scene" in Lisbon and I am very happy to help you find a good place to stay.
Hi, peregrina2000
I don't know anyone from this forum personally.
When you say Wed, Thus, Fri you mean next week, yes?
I would love to. My first encounter with someone from the forum and maybe with a bunch of people!
Hi Laurie,I was so happy to meet some forum members last year when I was in Lisbon and hope to have another chance next week. I will be in Lisbon and with free time every afternoon (and all day Friday!).
If anyone is going to be around, let's try to set up a place to meet for pastel de nata, coffee, wine, or any combination of the above.
Bom caminho, Laurie
Hey Dayton and Karen!
I will be working some 5 minutes' walk away from Browns. Even if we can't meet later you can come in and say hello. I'll be working from 7am to 3.30pm.
I'll PM you the address.
Hi Laurie, You gave us some hotel info several weeks ago. Karen and I arrive in Lisbon late afternoon May 5th. We're staying at Browns Boutique Hotel at Rua da Vitoria 88. We have all day the 6th and are starting walking on the 7th. Let us know where and when to meet you and we'll definitely try to get together. Would love to buy you a glass of Portugal's best. Dayton and Karen
Thanks again for the walking guide of Lisbon and for your updated guide!!!!
Ok, I just sent a pm to you and karenhypes. Right at 3:30 will be fine with me, pick a place close to your work and pm it to us. Looking forward to this! LaurieSounds great, peregrina2000
The earlier (after 3.30pm) the better for me as I will have some work to do at home.
Hi Laurie,
My husband and I will arrive Monday morning the 4th. We're staying at Hotel Do Chile. Would love to meet for coffee
Huh, Laurie, very successful invitation so far, congratulations. Maybe you should start a "Meet-up place in Lisbon" instead of SantiagoSo far, it looks like there will be a couple of meet-ups.
-- Monday, the 4th, late afternoon around 3:30-4
-- Wednesday, the 6th, at 3:30
-- Friday the 8th, during the day at some point
-- Friday the 8th, after late night arrival of anniethe nurse
So, if any of these times interest any of you, just let me know.
This is SUCH a huge difference from my experience walking from Lisbon in 2008, when I met absolutely no other pilgrims between Lisbon and Porto!
Hoping amsimoes, diogo, and maybe Mario see this and can join in at some point.

I wish a very nice time to all of you meeting up in Lisbon!

Go to hotel do Chile in LisbonHey Musgo, which hostel do you work at. I'll be in need of one (maybe) at the end of May upon my return to Lisbon.
I'll be arriving in Lisbon on Sunday afternoon, will be there untill Tuesday
Hi AMSImoes,
Thank you that will be great!
I'll be in front of the hotel.
Thank you,
Johan
Hi Laurie.
We just arrived from Porto and we will be working on Monday (Rua da Prata), but still do not know how it is organized my work schedule. Monday sending an email to meet.
AMSimoes
I'll be on the Cathedral steps tomorrow at 3.30pm (please wait until 3.35pm for I finish work at 3.30!).
I will have very little time because I have a bird to release back into the wildI can tell you about it tomorrow. I will have a small, black backpack and, short-sighted as I am, I will be looking around wondering if any of the people I see are the ones I'm supposed to be meeting!
What a lovely bunchWith permission granted from those pictured
It was a pleasure to meet you and I wish you all a positively unforgettable time on the Camino.
Kind of strange to see you in jeans, LaurieIt was a really fun afternoon. FINALLY, thanks to amsimoes, I got to the Santiago church, where all four pilgrims got their credentials stamped. There's a great little sign near the door saying in Portuguese -- your caminho starts here, only 610 kms to Santiago. Good photo op for those who like to take pictures.
Four more pilgrims hit the road tomorrow, giving me a little pang of longing.
Musgo and amsimoes, thanks so much for taking the time to meet up. See you next year in Lisbon! Bom caminho to all, Laurie
Kind of strange to see you in jeans, Laurie
Who's who in the picture? Is it allowed to post that?
Gil & Brenda's nick should've been "Gil B"People gave the ok for their first/forum names to be used. Couple next to me is Karen and Dayton (forum name Karenhypes) , couple further to the right is Gil and Brenda (forum name Gil A). All Canadians (or Canadian transplants) so I was out of my league. But they were very gracious to let in the interloper from the USA.
And then there were musgo and amsimoes, the Lisbonites who didn't want to be photographed (musgo took the picture).
