The Azores islands are located on the Atlantic Ocean about two hour flying time from Lisbon Portugal and about five hour flying time from the east coast of North America. The Azores Islands have a moderate climate.
The nine islands of the Azores are divided into three groups. The Eastern Group of Sao Miguel and Santa Maria. The Central Group of Terceira, Graciosa, Sao Jorge, Pico, Faial, and the Western Group of Flores and Corvo.
The Azores is on the horizon of the Atlantic. Our island is Terceira located 90 miles off of Sao Miguel and 66 miles off of Faial. The town we will be staying at is Praia da Victoria. This city is a town with one of the most inviting beaches, churches, and chapels.
I am starting to get very excited for this trip. I am now making a list of items to bring because I don't want to forget anything back home especially my passport. I am still saving as much money as I can. I'm bringing an almost empty suit case so I can go shopping and bring items back. My sister Lisa says, " What they have to offer in the Azores is unlike anything you can find here in the states." I'm eager to see exactly what they have.
