    Definitely interested.

    Add me to the list of USMNT fans hanging out in PG from 6/23-26 ahead of the Germany match. Down to grab a beer or bite.

    Also staying in Porto from 6/23-6/28 and interested especially if the hotel I am at doesn't organize something. Not sure if I got Germany tickets or not yet (got 2 of 3 matches) but going to be there regardless!

    My wife and I will be in Porto de Galinhas from the 20th - 27th. Looks like an awesome place. We're at the Pousada Iande about 1 km north of town. I'll have a rental car, but it looks like there are going to be way too many USMNT fans to cram into it.

    A Recife native wrote this in another thread:

    " Porto de Galinhas is a beach which is nearly 1 hour from the airport . The city is beautiful with warm sea water almost a paradise , for traveling between cities can be a problem if you do not have a car . There is no regular bus tickets booking, but may be it change during the wordcup"

    Cannot wait.

    I'm there from the 23rd to the 29th and would be interested in a shuttle, especially if it leaves early enough to get to see a bit of Recife/Olinda before the game.

    I'm likely in for this as well (2 of us), but need to book a hotel still. Any recommendations?

    We'll be at the Hotel Village Porto de Galinhas. Looks like a nice place and wasn't exhorbitant.

    Count me in for transport as well...flying solo if anyone is looking to share accommodation.
    Planning on being in Porto de Galinhas from 23 June to 27 June.

    I am with a group of six other USA supporters (7 total), and we are definitely interested. We'll be staying at the Pousada Capitães Do Mar from June 25-27. Anyone else?

    Two of us staying at Pousada Marambaia do Porto (on the beach 2miles north of Porto) from the 21st-29th and would be interested in a shuttle. We're still desperately trying to get two US-Germany tickets (been denied 3 times now), but have already booked flights and a hotel. Have 2 tix to Mex-Croatia on the 23rd on the off chance that anyone wants to trade and cheer against El Tri...

    Also, any good leads on places to gather and watch US-Portugal in Porto? Or are people planning on heading into whatever Fan Zone Recife has set up for that?

    We have chosen a bus company and will soon begin taking bookings for the trip. If interested, please message me your email address.

    ChelseaMatt, I sent you an email for Josh and Kira Spongberg. Thanks for arranging this. Let me know how to make payment.
    We have tickets to 3 matches in Recife. We are spending our entire trip in PdG. June 19-27. We are staying at Porto Familly Chalés. http://www.chalesfamilly.com.br/site/index.html

    We will be at Flats Koala in PG from 6/19 to 6/27 and would in on the bus. No tickets yet for the game but we're hopeful. Do have tickets for Italy-CR and Mex-Cro and will need to get to the stadium that day. I haven't figured out how to message you an email address through this site. I see you're in Memphis. My family is heading there in a couple of weeks to see the Civil Rights museum and Graceland.

    I have the same dates in PdG and the same tickets, plus US/Germany. Let's stay in touch. I'm looking into the best option for match day transport as well.

    Alright everyone,

    I'll be the first to say that I paid ChelseaMatt for reservations on the charter. He did more than enough to answer all my additional questions.

    Thanks for taking care of this bro. Looking forward to meeting you and everyone else down there for the game!

    Sent out email today re: the charter bus for USA fans from Porto de Galinhas to the USA vs Germany game in Recife. I am now taking bookings for the bus trip. If you did not receive the email, message me your email address, and I'll send it to you. Tickets will be $55/person assuming we get at least 40 people on the bus; We can bring up to 50 people at this rate -- if we're able to get up to that number, we get the entire bus to ourselves. If we are unable to get up to 40 passengers, the price will be $60/person plus incurred transaction fees -- however, this is unlikely an issue, as I have received interest from over 60 people so far. This will be handled on a first-come, first-served basis: only when I receive payment will you be confirmed for the bus -- so even if you've already stated interest in riding the bus, you won't be confirmed until I receive payment.
