Because we want to arrive in Rio on Friday, it would be best to find departing flights for the evening of Thursday December 26. A driver will pick you and your luggage up, and take you to your stay, Hotel Nacionale (unconfirmed). The first day you're in Rio, you may be worn out from travel and settling in, so today we will arrange a nice steakhouse or traditional dinner at a must-try Rio restaurant for the evening. Afterwards, if you’re feeling up for it, have a night out at Casa Black.
