THE GREEN LEGION INVADES BRAZIL, YOUR DATES OF CHOOSING WITH MULTIPLE TRAVEL PACKAGES, AUGUST 29^TH – SEPTEMBER 14^TH, 2024!!!!

FOR THIS TRIP AND THIS TRIP ONLY THIS YEAR, WE WILL OFFER THE ABILITY TO SEND CHECKS INSTEAD OF MANDATORY CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS. 

LAND ONLY/NO AIR PACKAGES WILL BE AVAILABLE IN A COUPLE WEEKS!  TICKET AND TAILGATE PACKAGES AND TAILGATE ONLY PACKAGES WILL BE RELEASED, HOPEFULLY AROUND THE SAME TIME.

MOST PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD THINK AMERICANS ARE COMPLETELY CRAZY!!!  BRAZIL, YOU AIN’T SEEN NOTHIN’ YET!!

OK, I KNOW MANY OF YOU SKIM THROUGH THESE DESCRIPTIONS…DON’T THIS TIME!  PLEASE!! 

*FIRST AND MOST IMPORTANLY, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE MARKET FOR GAME TICKETS WILL LOOK LIKE.  NO ONE DOES RIGHT NOW.  WE HAVE BUDGETED $500 PER PERSON FOR A GAME TICKET!  IF WE COME IN UNDER THAT NUMBER, YOU WILL ALL RECEIVE A REFUND.  IF THE AVERAGE PRICE FOR AN UPPER LEVEL SEAT IS ABOVE $500, YOU WILL BE CHARGED THAT PREMIUM IN YOUR FINAL PAYMENT.  I REFUSE TO LOSE MONEY LIKE I DID IN LONDON.  ALL OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN WITH US FOR ANY LENGTH OF TIME ALSO KNOW THAT I GIVE REFUNDS ANYTIME I COME UNDER BUDGET WITH GAME TICKETS.  THIS IS SOMETHING YOU AGREE TO BY MAKING YOUR RESERVATION.  IF YOU WOULD LIKE, YOU ARE ALSO FREE TO GET YOUR OWN GAME TICKETS, AND WE WILL BACK $500 OUT OF YOUR PACKAGE PRICE!

THIS TRIP IS GOING TO HAVE A LOT OF DIFFERENT ELEMENTS THAT YOU AREN’T USED TO WITH US INCLUDING WHAT I JUST MENTIONED.  WE’D APPRECIATE IT IF YOU GET YOURSELF ACCLIMATED.  PROBABLY THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT YOU WON’T HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF HOTELS IN SAO PAULO.  WITH THE CURRENT AMOUNT OF FLIGHTS WE ARE HOLDING, WE NEED 300 ROOMS AND NO HOTEL WILL GIVE US MORE THAN 50 ROOMS AS A BLOCK.  THUS, WE NEED TO USE 6 DIFFERENT HOTELS TO HANDLE OUR GROUP.  WE NEVER USE A BAD HOTEL, SO IN THIS INSTANCE, YOUR HOTEL WILL BE ASSIGNED BASED ON THE TRIP FLIGHT ITINERARY YOU CHOOSE.  WE ARE ASSIGNING HOTELS IN SAO PAULO BASED ON ARRIVAL DAYS.  IT IS A MUCH MORE EFFICIENT WAY THAN AN AIRPORT BUS STOPPING AT 6 DIFFERENT HOTELS.

ALSO, WE WILL BE ASSIGNING HOTELS, BASED ON AVAILABILITY, FOR “LAND ONLY” PACKAGES, IN SAO PAULO.  YOU WILL HAVE YOUR CHOICE OF HOTELS FOR RIO AND BUZIOS.  WE WILL ONLY HAVE A LIMITED AMOUNT OF “LAND ONLY” PACKAGES AND THEY WILL BE RELEASED IN A COUPLE WEEKS!

HOTELS IN SAO:

• RENAISSANCE SAU PAULO
• INTERCONTINENTAL SAU PAULO
• TIVOLI
• WYNDHAM SAO PAULO PAULISTA
  
• L'HOTEL PORTOBAY SAO PAULO

TIME TO PAINT THE PICTURE…

SAO PAULO:

I could tell you that Sau Paulo is just this incredible city to visit and there’s so much to do, but that’s the same of any big city in the world.  It will certainly be fun to visit the 4^TH LARGEST CITY IN THE WORLD, and we DO have an EAGLES BAR down there, the St. John’s Irish Pub!!  This will be our headquarters for the weekend!  Also, there is a possibility of a day tour to Iguazu Falls!  We are working on this currently!

Neo Quimica Arena is pretty cool.  We’ll show soccer how loud we can be!  More game day updates and tailgate locations coming soon.

RIO DE JANEIRO:

Like I have said numerous times, I think Sao Paulo is going to be great for the game, and then get out!  ANYONE NOT OFFERING YOU A STAY IN RIO WITH THIS TRIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY’RE DOING.  SORRY GUYS!  Fact is, if you have the method, means, and time, no stay in Brazil should be without Rio AND BUZIOS, but we will talk about that in a minute!  ALL GREEN LEGION PACKAGES FOR THIS TRIP WILL INCLUDE A “CHRIST THE REDEEMER” AND “SUGARLOAF” TOUR!!  You all know what Christ the Redeemer is…If you don’t know Sugarloaf, it’s one big weird ass rock still up out of the middle of nowhere right next to another even bigger, weird ass rock sticking out of the middle of nowhere, and a huge GONDOLA ride between the two!!  The most visited tourist attraction in Brazil, even more so than Christ the Redeemer! 

You have two choices of hotels…The JW Marriott right in the middle of Copacabana Beach, and the Sheraton Grand Rio, both AMAZING, and both UNIQUE in their own way.  WITH THE JW, you get the 5-star property you come to expect.  There’s a swimming pool on the rooftop along with a big bar and restaurant area, all outside.  Right across the street is the South Zone of Copacabana and one of the nicest parts of this beach!  Cafés everywhere!  You can’t go wrong.  WITH THE SHERATON, you get to be in the wealthiest area of Rio called Lablon!  The SHERATON IS EVERY BIT OF WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A “RESORT!”  HUGE pool, next to the beach, and one of the coolest beaches in Rio!  4 restaurants in-house including a French restaurant on the top floor (26^th), a spa, shopping, EVERYTHING!  And it’s 10-minutes from the Belmonte, which is the spot where we are having our “RIO WELCOME PARTY” and plan to make Green Legion HQ!!

BUZIOS BABY:

I AM AWARE NOT EVERYONE HAS A COMBINATION OF METHOD, MEANS, OR TIME, BUT IF YOU DO, I PROMISE THIS WILL BE ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PLACES YOU WILL EVER VISIT, AND ONE OF THE COOLEST AS WELL!

I was introduced to this slice of heaven in 2004 and sure enough, time and luck brought me back to the same pousada I stayed 20 years ago!  First, PLEASE LOOK UP PHOTOS OF GERIBA BEACH!!  BOTH of our properties, Pousada (meaning “guesthouse”) Maravista and Le Relais La Borie, are located ON THIS BEACH!!  You walk out of your room and you are walking past a pool and you are ON Geriba Beach!  This beach is synonymous with a breeze so even when it’s 85 degrees, you stay relatively comfortable.  It also has a nice break so it’s a popular spot for surfing including wind and kite.  On a weekend, if there’s a good break, the ocean is usually PACKED with entertainment value!  Especially regarding some of the choice of swimwear, lol.

That is your morning and afternoon!  You have bars set up our on the beach all over, or you simply order drinks at either place you select. 

STARTING AT 6 PM EVERY EVENING, WE WILL PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM RUA DAS PEDRAS AND SEA WALK!  LAST SHUTTLE WILL RETURN AT MIDNIGHT.  Rua das Pedras is the epicentre of Buzios.  It’s an old, cobblestone street, filled with bars, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment, of all kinds!  Honestly, it kind of reminds you a little bit like New Orleans, but more sandals and streets and sidewalks so clean you could eat off of them!!  Next to that is Sea Walk, which is simply that.  A mile of more bars and restaurants of all flavors, located on a walkway along the sea! 

Also, while we are there, we will take a beach booze cruise!  More info about that coming soon!  Again, this is just a gem!  There are a lot of travel hours to get to Brazil.  Once you arrive, you realize it was all worth it, and every care in the world is GONE!!

OK, STAY FOCUSED WITH ME EVERYONE…WE HAVE 5 SEPARATE PACKAGES:
