Dear Deri,
Having returned from Lisbon, I can now send a proper and sincere Obrigada for your tips and advice. Your suggestions were accurate and sensitive to my concerns about traveling with children in foreign territory. In hindsight, you could have taken a simpler path and followed the Hemingway Challenge of a six-word essay.
Get your passport and just go!
Or maybe:
Just go now.
Thank me later.
