GR,
I feel your pain. I'm so glad I went to Rio on my first trip when the Real was at 3.6 to 1. Doing 3 Termas a day or 3 session at one Termas a day was less expensive than what it is today. I remembered walking out of Termas 4X4 and the bill was R$800 after 3 sessions and 8 hours later. At 3.6 that was only around $220.00. If you do this today it would run you around $470.00. There is no way, no how, I can afford to spend that much in one Termas. YOU, apparently did quite a few times and I can't blame you since the Termas is loaded with hot and sexy Garotas.
Six years after my first trip to Rio now I only limit myself to one session at a Termas. Unless, ofcourse, I see something that I just have to have and I don't want to regret not having it just because it's a few dollars more. Now a day, the best value for my dollars is to have the Termas girls who I connect well with and have her come over and spend the night with me for a little over $100. Or pick up a Garota from HELPE, dance, drink, and have her spend the night until noon the next day for the same price. Going crazy in the Termas will be costly.
Also, I was debating hard these past few days whether to go to CR or to Rio for Memorial weekend. The price on American was $760 to CR or $1080 to Rio. Should I go back to Delrey where I have to negotiate hard for less money or more time and BBBJ or go to HELPE where negotiation for price and services is less of a hassle. GFE is almost always the case with BBBJ, multiple positons, more than 3 times is OK, and I never heard one said "why you not C*m yet?" I just love it when the garota takes it as a challenge to make me give her some "leite" and she doesn't give up until one of us pass out.
AND..should I go to Idem, ZB and NF where all the girls are sitting in their chair looking bored and disinterested and staring at you like you are the ugliest person to have walked in that day. OR should I go to the Termas where every time I walked in the Garotas are dancing, perk up and let you see what they have to offer, smiling and making eye contact and making me feel like I'm Robert Redford, Tom Cruise or Brad Pitt. For an extry $250 I'm going to Rio.
With a bunch of frequent flyer miles in my account I'm sure that I will get a free flight to CR sometime this year. But not right now.
