... flight from Johannesburg to Sao Paulo with a connection onto Rio de Janiero, we finally arrived at our destination, the Rio Sheraton, completely exhausted but very excited to have reached the party capital of Brazil. After months of planning and holding ...

The view from the Sheraton is beautiful overlooking  Apanada beach.  The Atlantic was extremely cold so no swimming for us.  There was a national holiday while we were there and ll the locals came to the beach.  It was an interesting ...

... skinny (at least compared to our cats!) so people must not give them much. Mid-afternon we all decided to take the hotel shuttle to a mall, Rio Sul, about 30 minutes away.  By the time we got back, our hotel was offering its 1-hour 2-for-1 happy ...

... and my desire for some quiet downtime, I declined.  Since the day was much more clear, we got a better view from our hotel room and can see Cristo Redentor (Christ the Redeemer), which is one of the most well-known sights in Rio. The boys and I ...

... in the corner of a back street the tram erupts with cheers.   Santa Theresa is a lovely (all be it a bit tatty) bohemian area of Rio which sits high on a hill, but like most places it is not at it's best in the pouring rain.  we find a nice little ...

We got upgraded on our flight from Dallas to Rio.... THANK GOODNESS! a 12 hour overnight flight and I was able to stretch out and sleep. Our shuttle that I scheduled went to the wrong airport and our guide for tomorrow canceled but we regrouped and got ...

... in jungle greenery. Although the beach itself is somewhat ruined in my opinion by the 8 lane road right next door. At 1 end we saw the Sheraton and to me it doesn't look worth the $$$. At the other end of Ipanema, there is a beach head, with nice views ...

... the favelas occupy now would be incredibly, incredibly expensive. One of the favelas is right beside the super luxurious Sheraton, both sharing incredible beach views. There were many fascinating stories about the drug dealers. They basically used to be ...

... and stay at. The apartment was in Leblon which is a pretty crazy place because it has some of the best views of Rio and the Sheraton hotel is there but right next to it is one of the most dangerous Favelas in Rio that occupies the majority of the hill ...

I cant believe I go home tomorrow - Rachelle leaves as well. We are both in shock. Moved to the Sheraton Hotel today. Nice way to end the trip, a bit of luxury. Unfortuanly the day is crap today. Very cloudy, windy and a tad chilly. I hope tomorrow is ...

... ?! When we got inside the taxi it sped north east through Ipanema and Leblon, around the corner of the bay where a very nice Sheraton hotel sits and then another 10 minutes along the next beach. It was a lovely day and a very nice ride, but I ...

... a 10 person dorm. Beds are plastic (hygenic yes, comfy no) but its only 3 more nights here, then my last night in the Sheraton!! Rachelle is here (girl I met in Puerto Iguassu) so we will hang out together while here. She has been here 3 days and is ...

... beaches, I was lucky enough to stay at a hostel within a stone's throw of a smaller beach in Leblon shared with the Sheraton hotel.  The beach, being a lot quieter than Copacabana and Ipanema, was a great place to spend most days enjoying the ...

Our meeting was at the Sheraton Rio (www.sheraton.com/rio) , walking distance to Ipanema. You might say, Sheraton is no luxury. No, it's not. Not yet! There's interesting plans for renovations, to shape it up for WC 2014 and Olympics 2016. So..stay ...
