# Lisbon trip planning 2025-09-12 Flights are booked: out on October 10th, back on the 17th. Window seat both ways — aisle seats make me restless. Hotel shortlist is down to two near Alfama. Want somewhere I can run along the river in the mornings; the marathon plan doesn't pause for vacation. To do before the trip: - Find vegetarian-friendly restaurants (and double-check peanut use in sauces — satay-style dishes are the usual trap). - Book the tile-painting workshop for the 14th. - Tell the team I'll miss the Tuesday/Thursday standups that week.
