Sorry I only got to this today..
I also work full time and we went there in July this year. We try to go about 3 times a year. I still go to Brazil once a year to see my family and I also go to London (one of my sis lives there). I do travel sometimes (work) to Sub-Saharan Africa. Last year was more eventful. I was in Africa twice, went to see my Mom and sis in Brazil in August, later on my Mom fell quite ill and died in December (which brought me back to Brazil of course), then I spent Xmas in London with my other sis and we went a couple of time to the Villages as my Mother-in-Law fell ill also.
Now, I hope you get to go to Rio (my daughter is there now, on Study Abroad for the summer). I too had problems with my own Brazilian passport and for quite a few times was detained in Brazil --- there is a lot of bureaucracy and it is an interesting experience to deal with this, to say the least.
I am going back to TV in a couple of weeks before school starts. Cannot get enough of it! I am not familiar with the Village of Summerhill, but all villages seem very nice. Hope you enjoy your stay. I will be working full time till retirement, then off we go to TV...
Hope your colleage enjoys Rio. I was at TV in October and it is very nice, as I was swimming at around 8:00 pm and the season is very nice. Enjoy!
