Just got back to USA, Houston airport....empty airport in GRU, Empty arrivals in IAH....they did make the Brasil pax go to the other side of Immigration and turn in a health form and have temp taken... just about everyone had their own row, I slept 7 out of the 9 hours, glad I didn't waste points, miles or money on an upgrade!!

We met at Lagoa last night.....let's just say he was "busy"....should be a good report coming, lol

I just checked in for my return flight....there's a statement that you have to check to continue....it asks, if anyone has traveled in the last 14 days to China, Iran or Brasil....the flight is coming from Brasil

Since they closed the old Fragata, it's been the same thing...next month, next month lol They just started to update their Instagram account with what the daily schedules will be

Went to Lagoa last night, Friday. The price has gone back to 65 reis and the wet sauna and showers were open and was fairly crowded....I stayed in a corner at the stairway. Has been chilly and drizzly out, and everytime I walk into Lagoa, going down the ramp, I feel like Trump walking down a ramp,lol The guy I've been with mostly went to see if he could get a programma ..... he didn't, so I took him and his friend back to the apt for a 3-way. They left to go to a party, invited me but I declined....Namazu would've went for sure, I would've some years ago, now just happy staying in. Invited the regular from Lagoa to come over...he stayed the night. What to do tonight bcdaron, didn't notice those guys last night, but if difficult with mostly everyone in clothes, jackets and masks.....

Menus on your cell phone now after scanning a QR code...waiter was very good, but difficult to hear with his mask. He offered to do 1 pizza with 3 of their most popular topping, divided into sections. So got to try 3 pizzas in one.

I don't recognize them, it was kinda slow the 2 days I went....I'm going tonight, will be on the lookout...although everyone is wearing masks.....

Nothing much to update, except I've been with the same guy since Monday, he's so attentive and fun. Unlike the normal Latin guys that are accustomed to their moms and sisters cleaning up after them, he insists on doing the dishes , taking out the trash, cleaning up after both of us and running the errands. We went to a Thai Restaurant the other night, that I've been to before, quite simple but nice food and great friendly/fun service, very simple name of the place ...Thai Food Next night, Pizza, Veridiana...3 locations, 1 near Lagoa...more or less. Lunch was rice , beans and chicken....for him , but I was very surprised how good everything was...restaurante Temerinho. I had been on the email list for Upgrade club for years, http://upgradesexclub.com.br/....tonight was my 1st time going. He was uneasy, because it was something new and out of his wheelhouse. Notwithstanding, we still had fun, . He fucked my in a sling with a few onlookers.....I'd go back alone sometime, bartender said weekends are incredible He went home tonight and I was till horny, so called a regular from Lagoa to come over , we were watching Michael Jackson videos and I showed him Moonwalker and Captain EO....his mind was blown because he thought he had seen everything about MJ Saturday night we're planning Indian food night (yeah, I like to eat)...looking at Tandoor restaurant.

FINALLY found decent pizza in SP https://www.veridiana.com.br/ They have a location, very pretty and great service not far from Lagoa.

@Michael seems like a lot of people in tourism still out of work

Went to Lagoa last night, Tuesday. Were 8 boys and 7 clients....looked depressing, but as we say, it only takes one....I had three at my table and had a fun time. Tips to the staff are very much appreciated more than ever. I spent $28usd for my entry and drinks...a relatively cheap time and went home with one (I'm not a whore like Namazu that would've taken all three). If you plan on coming, remember it's winter and a little chilly and rainy at times. Streets are quiet and the uber drivers said there's not much traffic at any time of the day. My uber from downtown to lagoa was $1.22 usd .

I don't have the writing or whoring skills of Namazu....it's an Asian thing, but I'll give it a shot lol I'll give a quick version of my observations. I arrived Friday...I normally would try to go Business class on United, it was available with plus points. But I thought, why use points if the service wasn't going to be there? No Polaris Lounge or amenities normal to Bizclass? I had 3 seats across in economy and another 25 around me empty....so that was good enough for me. I brought my own Polaris pillows before I even knew there were no pillows even in business, lol. Arriving in Sao Paulo....Not sure why the immigration officer thought I was Brazilian.....he insisted about 4 or 5 times to see my Brazilian documents ....I had a feeling he was flirting with me. He def was my type, If I wasn't so tired I would've given him my number. I already had plans to meet up with someone I knew from the start of the pandemic, so my first days were already occupied. Then I met with the brother of my ex bf and his new American bf that I will call his sugar daddy, lol Not much to add to that story except the obvious stereotypes. The bars (and Lagoa) must close by 10pm...so is kind of weird to be out in a semi lively street in Republica, to all of a sudden have everything shut down. Then everyone moves to the Carrefour Express supermarket across the street to buy beer and continue drinking (except Sunday). I went to Lagoa tonight , Sunday to see how it was. When I walked in Rodolfo and Marcos ( the guy that sells the clothes inside) were surprised to see me...or a gringo? I told them that it's hard to keep international whores at bay.....they asked where was Tomcal, lol. With the exchange rate, it's ridiculously cheap for just about anything, uber, drinks, food, programas. I met a guy that I'd seen before at Fragata, but never had been with. 150 reis at my apt and he was very happy...times are tough. After he left, I went to the street again and was waiting for someone that never showed up. I saw a black guy that said he was 24 but I new he was more like 34. He was hung, I could tell from from the bulge in his sweatpants. I asked how much, he said 50 reis...wtf , 10usd. We had fun, he did everything I asked, def worth 10usd.....but was a one time thing with him, I'm sure. I'm Glad I came...Still another week to go

You know I asked the question in Gaythailand.....however, I believe that before then end of the year, they will allow tourists in without quarantine. Insurance, yes, like Brasil now. we're 5 months , more or less into this. People can't stop living/working....everyone isn't Jeff Bezos, Bill Gates, or TotallyOz Time will tell, I bet by December, we will see things change....not because they are better....but because they must, for survival.

Yes, you need covid coverage. They will write in your passport the exact number of days you can stay in Brasil, based on the covid coverage dates up to 90 days. Be prepared to show a return plane ticket as well. I use www.squaremouth.com or www.insuremytrip.com to buy travel insurance. Preference towards squaremouth, because if you have a problem with a claim, they have an ombudsman that steps in to help...happened to me before and things got straightened out within a week.

Have you ever been in a taxi with me in BKK once the sun has gone down....lol

Your memories of Brasil must be fading about the amazing sex ....good sex is a bad day there, lol Keep in mind locals don't pay what foreigners do....going rate, as I'm told is 100 brl in the sauna 150 in your room, maybe as high as 200. I follow Tomcals long held advice, don't pay more than the locals, they get annoyed at people coming throwing money around because the exchange rate is so good.....they don't have the luxury of USD's. I'm heading down tomorrow, In Cancun now...where I live, they instituted the dry law to help with covid Can you imagine me being in a dry law place even when I have enough stocked up?

Thought you were going to say that , I watch pennies....I do, lol You should post this on Gay Thailand.....The gay scene isn't cheap there compared to Brasil, Mexico, Colombia

That sounds like I might not be going , lol I'm heading to Brasil at the end of the week....I'll quarantine when I get there, not alone though

Would you doubt this in Thailand

It seems that Bolsonaro's karma is kicking in....

I priced travel insurance for a possible Dec trip to BKK....1 month with 100k/250k was 67/92 usd with Covid coverage....

Fun wise...Mexico is great. but quarantine, dry law imposed (good thing I plan ahead) , many places closed...only essential places allowed open on weekends, etc... Otherwise, they have a populist president like the USA and Brasil, so the virus is predicted to peak here in Oct., according to the experts (not the government). It's the Thai food and massage that I can't get here that's the same in Thailand

Business reward tix that can be refunded...some of the flights not usually available on rewards Nothing much going on, I was just curious what others are thinking/planning

I know no one really knows, but I've booked refundable tix to Bali and BKK for December. What's everyone's thought on what will happen? I checked travel insurance today and can get a month travel with 100k or 250k Covid coverage for 67/92 usd. I'm a US citizen residency in Mexico, if it matters.

This gets the point across.....
