International Driving Permit from CAA

There are many places in Thailand where scooters are nice to have.  To avoid any issues with renting a scooter or motorcycle, its beneficial to have an International Driving Permit.  I thought this would be a complicated process, but rather very simple with the help of CAA.  You will need a valid driving license to match the vehicle type to be driven, two passport size photos and small fee charged by CAA.  I paid a $30 fee and $15 for two photos.

It took longer for me to drive to CAA than getting them to prepare the permit.  The permit is a paper based booklet that must be accompanied by your driving license to be valid.

Here is a link to download the application.

Find Penguins platform

Before leaving to Portugal, we wanted to track the travel path during our visit.  Although Google Maps is a great resource for navigation and locating points of interest, an interesting platform popped up on a search called Find Penguins .  This app will automatically track your location while you move around and create a map of your travels.  Find Penguins has been available for over 10 years, we just discovered it now. To make the most of this platform, travellers create Footprints, at any point of interest during the trip.  A Footprint allows for photos, videos and text to be added (similar to a Facebook post), additionally, your phone will log the GPS coordinates along with the elevation and local weather along the way.  During a trip, a number of Footprints can be created, which help to document the trip with photos/videos along with text to help you remember the details.  The best part is that this platform is free! Well, what does Find Penguins get f...

Portugal trip with moms

Now that the holiday season is over, it's time to think about our next travel destination.  Our last trip in February of 2024 to Morocco included a short stopover in Lisbon, Portugal.  Although we only stayed for two days in the capital city; Portugal kept calling us to return for another visit. We thought our moms would enjoy this trip with us, there was no hesitation on their part to come along.  With their confirmation, we immediately got to work booking flights.  Portugal, here we come!

Metro (subway system) in Lisbon

After landing at Lisbon airport (LIS), an easy way to reach the city centre is via the Metro system.  The airport has a station that is walking distance, a quick and convenient method to reach your hotel/residence.  You will have to walk down a number of stairs/escalators to reach the Metro platform, some elevators are available, but not to all levels. Before entering the Metro, a ticket can be purchased via self-serve kiosks.  The kiosk machines display local and English language; choose accordingly before purchasing.  In our case, four travellers planned to use the Metro to reach downtown Lisbon and rides to Sintra for a day trip.  The best option for us was to purchase a "navegante occasional card"; each traveller requires their own card, costing 0.50€ each. The kiosk machine will provide the card and load it with funds for public transit.  We opted to load 10€ to each card for travel about 6 times per card.  Each time we use the system, the individ...
