Seafood is Best in Recife Brazil When Served with Beef, Spettus Restaurant

Brazil is a land of surprises, mostly great ones. For example the best seafood in quality and choice was at a place known for great cuts of meat done in the parrillas style. Skewers or various cuts of prime South American beef, cut and delivered till you surrender. Spettus was no doubt one of the best restaurants in Recife if not in Brazil. It was however the bowls of huge shrimp and Brazilian lobster tails that enthralled this meat eating man. After six perfectly cooked huge tails and mounds of shrimps almost the same size I groaned every time slices of filet was deposited on my plate. I am most likely the cause for the sharp rise in the cost of Brazilian lobster tails in the US right now, I plead the fifth.

American Airlines to Salvador and Recife. Great Job

When everything is going right with a flight it is easy to praise an airline, it is when things happen that a great airline comes through. American had a mechanical problem yesterday with its Recife flight. I watched their dedicated staff deal with it in a textbook fashion that all airlines should follow; they cared for the passengers and made things much better. Meal vouchers were given and other arrangements were made. I ended up flying to Sao Paulo and put on a straight flight to JFK, even got bumped from bizz to first. Now you may think that because I travel write was the reason everything was handled. Not so I had the chance to observe other travelers happily chowing down in great airport restaurants and heading to home in a timely fashion. I salute American Airlines for their dealing with an unfortunate situation; it is the sign of a great airline. When things are going smooth it is easy, the tough step it up when needed, thanks American Airlines for stepping up!

I used to be a big fan of American Airlines, I am again. The flight from NYC to Salvador Brazil was great in everyway!
