Go to Portugal, Says Jauntsetter. Done
If you liked that beautiful port cocktail so much that you’re now drunkenly searching Kayak for plane tickets to anywhere, ever, as long as it isn’t the place you currently live, why don’t you buy one or two to Porto, Portugal, which is the homeplace of port, and which, coincidentally, the excellent travel site Jauntsetter currently features as its Trip Pick of the Week. Editor Dorothy McGivney, who doesn’t know how to use a toilet, and writer Amanda Miller point you toward travel deals and places to stay, and shine some romantic Portuguese candlelight — or, à luz de velas — on several lovely things to do there, like take river cruises, wander around castles, and keep drinking wine the whole time. “Eu quero ir lá e beber vinho durante todo o tempo.”
I should also mention that Jauntsetter’s main appeal is its sleek and unobtrusive weekly newsletter, which highlights normal places like North Carolina and Connecticut in addition to foreign getaways like Portugal and Mexico. Was that too much? Jauntsetter was also born with an eleventh finger.
